Unsigned Hype nominated for a 2011-2012 South Carolina Book Award!

I was pleased to discover that my novel Unsigned Hype was nominated for a 2011-2012 South Carolina Book Award, which is presented by the South Carolina Association of School Librarians. According to the South Carolina Book Award co-chairs Jennifer Kaufman and Kelly White:

The purposes of the South Carolina book awards are to encourage our students to read good quality contemporary literature and to honor the authors of the books annually chosen the favorites by student vote. The book award medals will be awarded to the winning authors the following year at the annual conference of the South Carolina Association of School Librarians.

 This is a special honor to me because both of my parents are from South Carolina and I spent many summers there when I was growing up! Thanks Jennifer and Kelly!
