Congratulations to A.J. Otjen! "Burned Over!" has won Gold at the C**A EVVY Book Awards!

"Burned Over!" tells the powerful true story of Montana firefighter Dan Steffensen, who survived being overtaken by a sixty-mile-an-hour wall of fire and inspired an entire community through his courage and resilience.

Dan passed away this past summer after a brave battle with cancer, but his legacy lives on through this story of determination, community, and the strength of the human spirit.
