Off The Hook Named The Grand Prize Winner At The Holiday Book Festival!
Christmas has indeed come in July as the Holiday Book Festival based out of Los Angeles has just named Off the Hook: A Christmas Ornament Adventure its Grand Prize Winner! This honor marks the 6th award for the book and 2nd winner!
Here's part of the email I received today:
"We're delighted that "Off the Hook" is the grand prize winner of the 2017 Holiday Book Festival. We're holding our annual awards in August at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel in Los Angeles and we'd be delighted to have you join us.
Your package includes a flight to the awards and a $500 appearance fee for the event. Congratulations on a book that's sure to become a holiday classic in years to come."
You can read the official announcement on their web page here.
And something else that's really cool? The place they're having this event, the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel, is where the first Oscars were held way back in 1927. And according to Wikipedia, the hotel is the oldest continually operating hotel in Los Angeles.
Can't wait to check this place out and to celebrate this awesome honor! Stay tuned for some pics from the awards show!

p.s. I'd like to give a big shout out to Big John who booked us a night at the Roosevelt as a congrats on the award! Thanks dad!
