Congratulations to our very own award-winning Seeker!!!!!!!

I thought I'd put this in Other rather than the Book Forum, since Seeker is a "regular" here and this goes beyond a discussion of a book:

As many of you know, Seeker has written two books (and is working on a third). Last night Seeker was in New York at an awards ceremony where he won the coveted 2005 Benjamin Franklin Award for best independently published juvenile-young adult fiction of the year.

Dan won a prestigious national award for his book!!!!!




Congratulations to our very own award-winning author!

Dan is the man.

I'd write a book, but you'd have to have spell check to read it

I own a copy of that book -- my kids loved it, and I loved it too.

You know, I think everyone should own a copy of that award-winning book...

Well, yeah, of course my copy is autographed...

Hey, is there someplace people could go if they wanted their own autographed copy of the book...?

I hope that this gets his book some prominent shelf space at some B&M stores.

WTG, Seeker!!!

(Not that he'll ever read this. As if Seeker has time for the little people like us any more. He's a celebrity now!)

I call shenanigans. It says clearly on the cover that the book was written by one "Dan T. Davis."

Congrats!

My wife and her sister really want to publish a children's book. Maybe this will give them some inspiration.
