Winning is so much fun! Winning re-confirms that one is doing something right. This last weekend we found out we did a lot right. Five of our books won top honors in two book contests and 3 others got 2nd place. Not bad!
We are honored to have so many awards for our books from New Mexico Press Women and the Historical Society of New Mexico.
- First Places: New Mexico Historical Encyclopedia by Don Bullis, The Basic Genealogy Checklist by Henrietta Christmas & Paul Rhetts, The Complete Santa Fe Bucket List by Pat Hodapp, Grandpa Lolo’s Matanza by Nasario Garcia.
- Second Places: Kicking the Bucket List by Gail Rubin, Lyle Got Stuck in a Tree by Ross Van Dusen, The Complete Space Buff’s Bucket List by Loretta Hall.
- And we got an Award of Excellence for an Organization Second Place.
In the HSNM awards program, From Saltillo Mexico to San Antonio and East Texas by Joe Sanchez & Bruce Erickson received Fray Francisco Atanasio Dominguez Award.
