|

We were thrilled when the ReLit Awards announced their longlist two weeks ago, but we wondered whether we should announce that one particular collection of short stories made the cut. Now, without question, we're even more thrilled to announce that Bix's Trumpet and other stories by Dave Margoshes currently sits on the shortlist for the 2008 ReLit Awards! Winners will be announced at this year's Ottawa International Writers Festival in October. For more information on the ReLit Awards, visit http://therelitawards.blogspot.com.
