Wild Island Wins 2010 PEI Book Award December 01, 2010  I was surprised and delighted to learn that my book "Wild Island – Prince Edward Island's Hidden Wilderness" was awarded the 2010 Prince Edward Island Book Award for non-fiction. The awards were presented by PEI Tourism Minister, Robert Vessey, at a ceremony held at the Confederation Centre Library, Nov 24. Books in the categories of fiction, non-fiction and poetry were chosen by a panel of judges comprised of poet Hugh MacDonald, author Katherine Edwards and historian Boyd Beck. I hope the recognition will help to raise the book's profile and increase interest in Prince Edward Island's natural areas and conservation. One dollar from the sale of every book goes to the Island Nature Trust. In addition to the prize money and an engraved pottery plate the winners received a huge roll of gold "PEI Book Award" labels. I have to go now and put stickers on books! | |
