I was up early this morning and found an email from the president of the San Diego Book Award Associations that was sent at 12:53 a.m. that read:
Your book The Blizzard is a finalist in the Seventeenth Annual San Diego Book and Writing Awards. I hope you will join us for the award ceremony on June 11th!
I don’t know how many others made the cut for the finals, but I am proud to be among their company. Now I will root for the gold medal!
