March brought a surprise: My book Shelter of Leaves is a 2016 Foreword INDIES Book of the Year finalist for science fiction!

Foreword Reviews writes, “These finalists represent the best books published in 2016, and submitted to Foreword Reviews for award consideration, and were narrowed down by Foreword’s editors from over 2,200 individual titles across 65 categories.”

Finalists will be judged by an expert panel of librarians and booksellers curated specifically for each genre. Winners will be announced during the 2017 American Library Association Annual Conference on June 24, 2017.
