The best book you never read

Several months ago, I blogged about my encounter with a New York City psychic.
If you recall, I described how she asked me about the significance of Florida and California. I told her that I'd entered literary contests in those states. She told me I'd be traveling a lot.
She was right -- well, to a point anyway.
At the end of January I went to Orlando, Fla., to accept recognition as the runner-up in the 2015 Florida Book Festival's Gay Literature category for "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey."
Just yesterday I learned that "Truth" received recognition as a finalist in the 2015 Beverly Hills Book Awards competition's LGBT Non-Fiction category. Now in and of itself, that may not sound like a big deal. But the fact of the matter is that only the winners and the finalists in this particular competition receive official recognition.
Unfortunately, family obligations will preclude me from traveling to California to receive the recognition in person.
At any rate, the list of book awards on my website is growing. In addition to the awards I just mentioned, the list includes the following:
-- Winner of the 2013 New England Book Festival's Gay Literature category for "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey"
-- Finalist in the 2014 National Indie Excellence Awards competition's LGBT Non-Fiction category for "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey"
-- Runner-up in the 2014 Great Southeast Book Festival's Autobiography/Biography category for "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey"
-- Honorable Mention in the 2014 New York Book Festival's Wild Card category for "Truth Be Told: Adam Becomes Audrey"
Who knows? The list could be even longer by the end of the year -- if I enter some more contests.
For now all I need is a few more reviews... and a lot more sales!
Until next time, "That's life..."
