I am happy to report that Catalina is one of five poetry books short-listed for top book of 2011 by the Independent Literary Awards! 

Indie Lit Awards Short List
 
 
I was nominated for an Independent Literary Award for my poetry book, Catalina.  If you wouldn't mind, please add your nomination, as the top-five vote getters in each genre are then eligible for the award.  Thanks!
 
 
December 15--my friend Jill's book group read Catalina and invited me to their monthly dinner to discuss.  It was wonderful!
