All the Saint of the City of the angels Nominated for Nonfiction Book of the year!
|
 "O my fluttering hummingbird heart!" J Michael blogged, upon learning the news, "Humbled to the core, bedazzled and amazed, it’s made me feel just like a kid."
The final awards, to be handed out on October 18, are voted on only by independent booksellers, making their value especially meaningful. Still, even being nominated is an incredible surprise and endorsement.

"All the Saints" gets a new Blog
|
 The journey of creating, publishing, exhibiting, and promoting All the Saints has been so rich in detail and experience, that there simply hasn't been time to record it all in the moment.
But now, optimistically sensing that things may be winding down just a bit, J Michael has begun to post a new blog about some of the richer experiences involved with All the Saints.
