>In an Uncharted Country wins Gold!

>

I didn’t think the results were going to be announced until the ceremony later this month, but I guess I was wrong. And, moreover, it appears that my book, In an Uncharted Country, has been awarded a Gold Medal for best fiction in the Mid-Atlantic Region! Here are the results: Independent Publisher Awards for 2010.

And congratulations to Mary Akers for winning Gold in the Short Story category, against some very stiff competition!
