Thank you to the New Mexico Book Assn. for this wonderful honor. I also have heartfelt thanks to the inimitable Susan Bergholz for graciously agreeing to accept on my behalf. My third novel, SO FAR FROM GOD debuted over three decades ago and remains out & about in the world, for which I’m also grateful. Last year it was selected by the Atlantic among the top one hundred great American novels. Meanwhile, this winter I’ve been burrowed in working on a new novel: AGAIN. A note about the times: Remember it ain’t over ’til it’s over. Call your local leaders in Congress and the Senate. Make sure you know your rights. Make sure you carry all IDs. There are apps & numbers to keep on your phone for emergency calls. If possible, stock up on your meds. Share all your know with friends & family so that they may protect themselves, too. Remember, you are sombody.
