Well, here’s some exciting news: My new book about yacht charter has just been named a finalist in the Best Travel Guidebook of the Year category of the ForeWord Independent Press Awards competition!

There were about 1,400 entries in the contest, and they’ve been whittled down to about a dozen finalists in my category. We’ll find out who wins at a June 1 ceremony in New York City. I’m up against books about traveling on hiking trails in the Pacific Northwest and to restaurants in London. (Like THAT’S never been done before!!!)

You can’t vote for Have the Whole Boat: The Insider’s Guide to Private Yacht Charter Vacations (only the librarians and booksellers who serve as judges get a vote), but you can support the cause by clicking here to get your own copy today.

Let’s hope we’ll be able to call it an “award-winning” copy in the near future!
