Dissolute Kinship Wins Readers' Choice Award
David Antrobus Posted on Wednesday, April 3, 2013 at 11:58AM 
This is really a follow up to the last post. The two-week voting period for Big Al's Books and Pals 2013 Readers' Choice Awards is now over, and Dissolute Kinship: A 9/11 Road Trip was fortunate enough to receive the most votes in the Memoir category, enough to win it, which is a great honour and one for which I am humbly grateful. There? Did that sound like a gracious speech? But seriously, winning this award has been a glimmer of light in a pretty dark few weeks for me personally, so I am very appreciative of everyone who read my book, everyone who voted in the contest, all the other fine and awesome independent authors whose books were nominated and, especially, Big Al Kunz and his team over there. Nice work, everyone.

David! Congratulations!
Not a surprise to those of us who read your short fiction, your blog posts, your contributions on other websites, and your full books. You are a gorgeous writer.
I hope this well deserved recognition will prompt more readers to search out your non-fiction and your fiction. I also hope it might encourage you to write more for us who are always waiting to read you!
Super big hugs!
Ah, Jo, always ready to twist my arm to write more. I want to, I really do. Life stuff has been intruding, lately, but yeah. I do appreciate your encouragement.
Diavid, congratulations! Again! And more hugs. And please keep writing. Or I'll send Mader around. You know what happens then. :D
Oh god, Laurie, not that! ;)
(And thanks. And congratulations to you, too!)
