New Under the Sun has been shortlisted for an Atlantic Book Award, in the category of Newfoundland and Labrador Book Award for Fiction, which covers books by NL writers published over a two-year period, in this case 2010 and 2011. I’m thrilled. Congratulations to the other nominees, Gerard and Patrick. We’re all thrilled!
Here’s the shortlist. The Atlantic Book Awards ceremony will take place this year for the first time in NL, at the LSPU Hall on May 17th. And plans are for an evening of readings on May 15th from the three nominated books, together with those in the children’s literature category. If you live in the city, watch for the announcement of time and place.
