"Vertical" Wins Independent Publisher Book Awards Gold Medal for Fiction!

   My Sideways sequel Vertical just won the Independent Pubishher Book Awards Gold Medal in the category Popular Fiction.  This means a lot to me, because it's redemption from the way I was treated by Alfred A. Knopf, whom I was under contract to for the selfsame book.  For the intricate, detailed story, I'm blogging about it on Huffington Post Books.  I invite you to go there and read about the Byzantine world of the publishing industry.
