Boxing for Cuba is a Colorado Book Awards Finalist
July 29, 2008
I received word a month ago that Boxing for Cuba is a finalist for the Colorado Book Awards in the creative nonfiction, category. I have been so busy at work preparing for the Democratic National Convention that I neglected to post this very important development. Apparently Boxing is one of three finalists in this category, the other two finalists are No Safe Place: A Family Memoir by Kim Reid, and Obit by James Sheeler.
Being a first time author, I didn’t know what to expect when my book first came out, I must admit that I am thrilled to have this recognition from my home state. The winners will not be announced until a dinner on August 8, 2008, but until then I will keep my fingers crossed.
