It Wasn't All Dancing 330 $aIn 1986, after years of publishing stories in literary magazines and periodicals, Mary Ward Brown published her first book, the story collection Tongues of Flame. It soon received regional and national attention, and the following year won the PEN/Hemingway Award for fiction. Mary Ward Brown was sixty-nine years old. Though she would go on to write and publish many more stories and a well-received second collection, It Wasn't All Dancing, Mary Ward Brown's late acclaim hardly hints at the rich and varied life that prepared the way for her success. 606 $aAuthors, American 615 0$aAuthors, American. 676 $a813/.54 B 700 $aBrown$b Mary Ward$01667161 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910810712703321 996 $aFanning the spark$94026838 997 $aUNINA
