Martha Brockenbrough, author of THE GAME OF LOVE AND DEATH, attended the Kirkus Prize ceremony last night in Austin, Texas as a nominee in the Young People’s Literature category.
Alas, the award went to Pam Munoz Ryan’s ECHO, but Martha immediately sent out a gracious post on Facebook and high-fived the winner in the process:
“A truly great book won the Kirkus Prize for young literature tonight. I
was so shocked and thrilled to be a finalist, and am so happy with how
this adventure has turned out. Thanks for all the good wishes, friends!
And read ECHO by Pam Munoz Ryan. It’s wonderful.”
Kudos to Martha–we’re so proud of you for your book and your tireless support of other writers near and far.
Martha, we ARE so proud of you and stand in awe!
