bourbonv Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 I would have added this to the thread about my book but it is closed, so I guess i will create a new thread. My book, Kentucky Bourbon Whiskey: An American Heritage is a finalist for the 2015 Kentucky Literary Award. It is one of five books and is competing against books on Bar-b-que, horse racing, the frontier nursing service and medicine in eastern Kentucky. Tough competition and I am happy to just be a finalist.Mike Veach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Richnimrod Posted December 4, 2014 Share Posted December 4, 2014 CONGATS! Mike, the historian in you must have really had it going writing this one, and it shows. Best luck; but as you noted it's a win to just be in the running. Better to be THE winner, if that comes to pass, though. You get my vote! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bourbonv Posted December 18, 2014 Author Share Posted December 18, 2014 Thanks for the kind words. The book is still selling well and I hope others enjoy it as much as the people here do. I also hope that it will inspire some young historian to do work in the field because there is a lot of research left to do. Mike Veach Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CorvallisCracker Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm pretty sure there's a copy under the tree. It's definitely a book, and the only other book on my wish list was Security Metrics: Replacing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, which the wife said was not an appropriate Christmas gift, so...

CorvallisCracker Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 I'm pretty sure there's a copy under the tree. It's definitely a book, and the only other book on my wish list was Security Metrics: Replacing Fear, Uncertainty, and Doubt, which the wife said was not an appropriate Christmas gift, so...Yes, there it was. A quick read (less than two hours) but an informative one. An ideal loaner to anyone I know becoming interested in the subject. Great job, Mr. Veach!
