    Eureka! Silver Honor Awarded to Nugget on the Flight Deck

    Eureka! Silver Honor Awarded to Nugget on the Flight Deck

    October 22, 2010 Book Talks 1 Comment

My newest book, Nugget on the Flight Deck was awarded the Silver Honor! (I was in the toothpaste aisle in Target when I got the news in case anyone from the Today Show cares.)
