Cruise Ship tell-all finalist in ForeWord's Book of the Year

I am happy to report that Cruise Confidential has made the finalist list for 2008 Book of the Year by ForeWord. There were 1,400 books entered in 61 categories, and a whopping three others published by Traveler's Tales made the finalist list. I'm not surprised by that, of course. Way to go, guys! Here's more, from the words of ForeWord:

These books represent some of the best work coming from today's
independent press community. The winners will be determined by a panel of librarians and booksellers, selected from our readership. Gold, Silver, and Bronze winners, as well as
Editor's Choice Prizes for Fiction and Nonfiction will be announced at a
special program at BookExpo America at the Javits Center in New York City on
May 29.

ForeWord's Book of the Year Awards program was designed to discover distinctive books across a number of genres. Past winners have included Rashi's Daughters, Book 1: Joheved by Maggie Anton and Peace Like a River by Leif Enger.

Loved the book, glad to hear it is getting such great recognition. You left the ending "open" any thoughts of a sequel?
