Thrilling News in my email yesterday! Beyond the Bukubuk Tree: A World War II Novel of Love and Loss is on the published Long List of titles competing for the prestigious Hemingway Book Award for Wartime Fiction 2024.

Dear Friends and Readers,

In addition to winning an International Firebird Book Award for War Fiction, the 2024 Storytrade Book Award in LGBTQ Fiction and a Literary Titan Gold Book Award for Fiction, I am in contention for the Hemingway Book Award for Wartime Fiction.

Wish me luck! There’s far to go, but being on this Long List is already a wonderful encouragement. A big thank you to  all my colleagues and friends who supported me through the ups and downs of completing my novel and seeing it through publication.
