I’m honored and pleased to announce that “Downhills Don’t Come Free“ has been recognized with yet another prestigious award – The 2018 IPPY Award Bronze Medal for independent publishers in the Sports / Fitness / Recreation category.  The award is described below from the IPPY Awards website.

 

About the Awards

Each year since 1996, the Independent Publisher Book Awards competition has identified a reading list of progressive, thought-provoking books, the kind that can touch lives, advance careers, and stretch our imaginations. With the tag line, “Recognizing Excellence in Independent Publishing,” the IPPY Awards showcase the best books from throughout North America and the English-speaking world. Launched as the first unaffiliated awards program open exclusively to independent, university, and self-published titles, the awards are presented each spring at a gala ceremony during the BookExpo America convention in New York. Winners receive gold, silver and bronze medals and foil seals for their book covers.

The IPPY Awards are presented by publishing services firm Jenkins Group of Traverse City, Michigan and IndependentPublisher.com, “the online voice of independent publishing.”
