Dark Days shortlisted for Ottawa Book Awards
Dark Days has been named as one of five finalists in the non-fiction category for the 2009 Ottawa Book Awards. I’m thrilled to be included as a finalist alongside so much talent: Tim Cook for Shock Troops: Canadians Fighting the Great War 1917-1918 (Penguin Group Canada); D. Peter MacLeod, Northern Armageddon: The Battle of the Plains of Abraham (Douglas & McIntyre); A. B. McKillop, Pierre Berton: A Biography (McClelland & Stewart); and Michael Petrou, Renegades: Canadians in the Spanish Civil War (UBC Press). Congratulations also to Monia Mazigh, who has been shortlisted for the Prix du livre d’Ottawa for Les Larmes emprisonnées (Les Éditions du Boréal) (which is, in English titled Hope and Despair), and to the fabulous David O’Meara, a finalist in the fiction category for Noble Gas, Penny Black (Brick Books).
