Lakeland shortlisted for Edna Staebler Award

I am delighted to announce that Lakeland: Journeys into the Soul of Canada has been shortlisted for the 2010 Edna Staebler Award for Creative Non-Fiction. The $10,000 award is administered by Wilfred Laurier University and recognizes Canadian writers for a first or second work of creative non-fiction that includes a Canadian locale and/or significance. Lakeland shares the short list with two very fine books by John Leigh Walters and Else Poulsen. You can read about all three nominated books on WLU’s website.
