'Down to the Roots' shortlisted for CBC Award

The official announcement went up on the CBC website this morning! My story 'Down to the Roots' is one of 28 short-listed in the English story category of the 2009 CBC Literary Awards.

Now I just have to wait for a month to find out who won.

Shelagh Rogers will announce the English-language winners on March 18th, 2010 at 11 a.m. EST on CBC Radio One’s (690 AM, 88.1 FM in Vancouver) Q with Jian Ghomeshi.

The CBC Literary Awards were founded by CBC Producer Robert Weaver to encourage and celebrate Canadian literary talent. During the past twenty-eight years, amazing writers like Michael Ondaatje, Carol Shields, Gail Anderson-Dargatz, and Shauna Singh Baldwin have won awards.
