Also, thanks fuh taking the time to post on here.
Continued success and blessings to you. |
I accustom to the cussing.
No, no more DC signings for now, I'm back home (Antigua) and resting up. I was in New Haven and NY after DC and suffering from serious fatigue! But I'll definitely be back in DC in late October if not before for the Hurston-Wright Legacy Awards because I just found out that Unburnable is short-listed for the Debut Fiction category -- that Award Ceremony is November 2nd in DC.
BTW Jinjer, I'm a bigger Adichie fan that you... and it's a big point of pride for me that she won the same prize I'm now short listed for (Hurston-Wright Legacy Award, best debut) in 2004 with Purple Hibiscus. She's also nominated this year for Yellow Sun in the Best Book category, so hopefully I'll meet her then and I can thank her in person for saying such good things about Unburnable. Check out the Hurston-Wright Foundation website to see all the nominees in all the categories:
