Congrats to author Christopher Lee...

Yesterday, I was honored to attend the NC Book Awards, where Where You Are From was shortlisted for the Raleigh Prize in Fiction. Great thanks to the NC Department of Natural & Cultural Resources, the North Carolina Literary Review, and all judges for their consideration. Also, I wan to offer many congratulations to the other shortlisted authors (including fellow Redhawk Publications author Tony Robles), the finalists (including Elaine Orr, whose wonderful novel Dancing Woman was a finalist in fiction and who was gracious enough to share the picture below), and winners!

Thank you to everyone who has read WYAF and spreads the word!
