Last week, the North American Travel Journalists Association (NATJA) posted the results of their 31st Annual Awards Competition. My latest book, 100 Things to Do in Boulder Before You Die, received an Honorable Mention.

This was the first time that I submitted a book title for consideration. Several of my previously published stories have received travel writing awards from this organization.

As you can see from the posted list of winners, I had strong competition.
