OVC epidemiologist wins awards for fiction

A professor in the Department of Population Medicine is earning acclaim for his literary efforts.
Dr. David Waltner-Toews’ first book of fiction, One Foot in Heaven, won two awards last week: the ForeWord Magazine 2005 Book of the Year silver medal in the short-story catergory, and the Independent Publisher Book Awards best regional fiction for Canada-West.
Both were announced on May 19 at Book Expo America in Washington, D.C.
The ForeWord Awards, which “honour excellence in independent publishing,” are judged by panels of librarians and booksellers from across the United States.
