I’m very honoured to share that my book about jazz musicians – Journeys to the Bandstand: Thirty Jazz Lives in Vancouver – has won an award. In the 2025 Independent Publisher Book Awards (IPPY Awards), Canada-West – Best Regional Non-Fiction category, I’m a silver medalist. Big thanks to the IPPY Awards, which recognize excellence in independent publishing in North America and beyond.
