2011 CBAs in Aspen

Well, dang, not only did I get to spend the weekend in beautiful Aspen with a bunch of other authors and book lovers, but I won a Colorado Book Award for literary fiction!

I'm pretty stoked about this, and it's not just from the lack of oxygen at 8000 feet above sea level. This is really a great honor. Many thanks to Colorado Humanities and Center for the Book.

And congrats to all the other winners and finalists. It was wonderful meeting with you all and getting a chance to talk to many of you. What a great weekend.







The trip back home got even headier as we drove back over Independence Pass. Gasp.
