Countdown to Publication: Fun Fact 50

It was truly a thrill to learn that I had won the Bellwether Prize for Literature of Social Change--not simply because it meant my manuscript would be published but because of what the prize stands for. A bellwether is "one that serves as a leader or as a leading indicator of future trends." I do hope The Girl Who Fell From the Sky serves as a bellwether--that more people will be sharing stories of the mixed racial and cultural experience to a wider audience.
