KALYNA'S SONG
"Coteau Books is most grateful for the assistance we received from the Ukrainian Canadian Foundation of Taras Shevchenko in support of our novel Kalyna's Song by the first-time author Lisa Grekul. We were able to successfully publish and launch the novel, to a great deal of acclaim. What was particularly useful about the Foundation's support was that, as planned, it allowed us to do extended touring with the author -- to Edmonton, Calgary and Winnipeg most recently. We were able to do this additional promotion right at the time when it was announced that Kalyna's Song is a finalist for the Books in Canada/Amazon First Novel Award.

Once again, thank you for your ongoing support of Coteau Books publications. We look forward to sharing further successes with you in the future."
