in Ash, News

I am so happy to announce that Ash is a finalist for the William C. Morris YA Debut Award. The Morris Award is given to debut young adult novels, and is granted by the American Library Association.

It is SO EXCITING to be nominated for this award!! I heard about it yesterday but it still hasn’t really sunk in yet. Here’s how it felt when I found out:
