“The Wallace House of Pain” Wins American Fiction Award

I don’t usually post twice in a week — that’s why I call this blog a space for “semi-occasional” news. But it’s been a good week for my novelette/play The Wallace House of Pain. A few days ago, I announced that the script for the play has been published in a literary journal. Today, I can announce that the book won highest honors in the 2023 American Fiction Awards in the novelette category!
