My oldest daughter is one of those left wing, goat cheese and bagel
eating, new age liberals.  (Kinda like Jan) Last December when she had
my grand daughter, she had her at home with a lady called a doula or
some such nonsense.  While they were waiting for the baby she was
reading my signed copy of Jan's book.  After the baby was born the lady
left with my book.  My daughter asked her about it and 3 days later she
brought it back.  Said it go mixed up with her stuff.  Gotta be a good
book if it is steal worthy :>))

	Wait a minute.  I own an AUTOGRAPHED COPY of this book.  Did you
sneak in my house and swipe it or is there more than one such in
existence?

			Hey friends!
			
			I just got word today! Please help me celebrate.
			
			My one-and-only book "The Ordinary Adventurer"
(Jerelyn Press) is a national semi-finalist for an IPPY Award! 
			That is, the 12th Annual Independent Publisher
Book Awards.(2008). 
			
			This year's awards announcement event in Los
Angeles during BookExpo is set for Friday, May 29th, with the
presentation ceremony at City Club on Bunker Hill in the Wells Fargo
Building, downtown Los Angeles.
			
			I don't believe I will be there unless they
strongly hint that I come. ;-) In any case, the gold, silver and bronze
medalists will be chosen from the six "semi-finalists and announced May
21st.
			
			The book made it into the final cut for the
"Travel Essay" category. Given the preponderance of university p resse s
(Yale?!, so I wasn't anticipating much action.
			
			I'm also waiting for word on the status of "The
Ordinary Adventurer" in the Regional" Book category, where I originally
thought it would catch some interest, due to the heavy weighting of
university publishing in the Open categories. 
			The finalists for the regionals have yet to be
decided, so I'm hoping for a two-fer. 
			Hey, a gal can dream!
			;-)
			
			It's been a long, long road, but I'm glad I went
ahead and did it.
			
			Best,
			Jan
