SPECIAL ANNOUNCEMENT by Joyce Hart

I just received this note from client Jane Kirkpatrick:

I got a call last night from the chair of the WILLA Literary Award event and "An Absence so Great" is a finalist for the award! They've already chosen the winner and finalists so that's all it will be...a finalist, but I'm delighted, especially since "A Flickering Light" won last year!

Warmly, Jane
