My book about a girl who turns into a horse, "The Trouble with Being a Horse," is really going places!

The Trouble with Being a Horse has just won the NABE Spring 2011 Pinnacle Book Achievement Award for Juvenile Fiction! I'm very excited about winning this award and it's helping to open up doors all over. Several book stores and tack stores in the US are interested in carrying it, which will be a great addition to the stores that already have it in Canada.
So far, the reviews have been (mostly) very positive and it's not just young…
