I then raced to the Independent Publisher's IPPY Book Awards at the Providence NYC some 11 blocks away. I must have looked like a regular New Yorker because people were moving out of my way as I hustled up the busy streets of Manhattan. I made it just in time to accept my IPPY Award and to meet my kids there! We had a great time and I enjoyed the event immensely! No matter how hard I try to keep things in perspective, I still seem to be pushed by events into believing that I am an actual author. Oh well, it was great fun. Attached see the two medallions I was awarded last night. Back into the city today and tonight. Have a great Thursday!
Had a great time last night at two award ceremonies in New York! The first ceremony was hosted by the Independent Book Publishers Professionals Group where they recognized their Next Generation Indie Book Award Winners. Although it was a tightly packed crowd at the Harvard Club of NYC, the event was very nice. There were presentations and comments by members of the Jury Panels, who made it clear that to win in the Non-Fiction categories was extremely tough, as virtually all nominees were outstanding. It made me feel a but odd being amongst recognized authors that have received many awards in the past. As I was waiting in line for my "photo-op" with the presenters, a well-known author (not telling who) commented that he was amazed to hear that one of the authors was being recognized for his very first book! I could only muster a response of "Wow, that must be so special!" Well, it kinda is, but I was not going to admit I was that guy!
