The Independent Book Publishers “gold” IPPY award for adult non-fiction was awarded to How to Make a Life. I did not attend the award ceremony in New York City, but I am proud to adhere the gold seal to as-yet unsold copies of my book. If you have a signed, autographed copy without a seal, just send a note (and your street address) to me, globalmaddy@gmail.com , and I’ll be glad to mail one.
