Good news for 2013 began in early December, when the New England Book Festival -- which will be held in Boston on January 19, 2013 -- announced its upcoming book awards. Runner up in the Regional Literature category is NATHANIEL PURPLE by F. D. Reeve. Congratulations, Frank; this should be a terrific way to have more readers find this deliciously wicked novel set in southern Vermont, featuring the librarian who shares his name with the book. For the complete list of award-winning titles, click here:

Congratulations to Frank for the Nathaniel Purple award. It's a wonderful book! Dynamic offbeat characters and lyrical prose.
