Local author Teri Fink’s second novel, The Clovis Dig is the Winner of the Legacy Fiction Award for the 15thAnnual International Book Awards, an organization based in Los Angeles. Jeffrey Keen, President and CEO of American Book Fest which manages the award, said this year’s contest yielded thousands of entries from authors and publishers around the world, which were then narrowed down to the final results. The Clovis Dig is the story of an East Wenatchee orchardist who discovers ancient artifacts beneath the orchard.
In other recognition, Ms. Fink’s third novel, The Restless Lake, has been named finalist in the Eric Hoffer Award. The award honors the memory of American philosopher Eric Hoffer by highlighting excellence in writing, as well as the independent spirit of small publishers.
In addition, The Restless Lake has been nominated by the Eric Hoffer judges for the Montaigne Medal, which recognizes the most thought-provoking books. These are books that either illuminate, progress, or redirect thought. This is an additional distinction beneath the Eric Hoffer Award.

Additionally, the audiobook of Invisible by Day, Ms. Fink’s first novel, has been named finalist in The Wishing Shelf Audiobook Awards. Invisible by Day is historical fiction in the vein of Downton Abbey. Narrator Grace Gray, a professionally trained actress, brings the audiobook to life.
