I've been active in the New Hampshire Writer's Project for a few years, and have followed their annual awards program all of that time. This year has been particularly fun to follow because I count almost all the award winners as friends! How wonderful is that? My name is even in one of them (you're welcome Tim). I don't know Andrew or Elizabeth, but maybe I should.
Here is the official scoop;
The NH Literary Awards ceremony will be held immediately following the conclusion of Writers’ Day 2014 on Saturday, March 22 at 4:30 p.m. in the Hospitality Center on the campus of Southern NH University. The ceremony is free and open to the public.
Voting is now open for the Readers' Choice Awards! For the next two weeks, you can vote for your favorite New Hampshire book and author. There are many wonderful nominees. Click here to vote.
In addition to the Readers' Choice Awards, the following writers will be honored for their inspiring achievements. Hope you can join us on the 22nd to celebrate the NH literary community.

I'm also really happy to share the latest review of Broken Buckets from a reader in Kansas.
"... I wanted to let you know that I'd very much enjoyed reading it. In fact, I gobbled it up. I've been so affected by school shootings and such, have written several poems about it - so very disturbing - and felt that you'd dealt with a horrific story in a very compelling and compassionate way. Thank you SO much for sharing - it was an exquisite tale."
