These are some of the awards. The books are available at Harford County Public Library.

• Life Achievement: Ellen Asher and Jane Yolen
  
• Novels: The Shadow Year by Jeffrey Ford ("An award-winning author turns his talents to nostalgia and youth, bringing the optimism and dark underbelly of 1960s small-town suburbia to life.")
  
• Tender Morsels by Margo Flanagan ("Tender Morsels is a dark and vivid story, set in two worlds and worrying at the border between them. Liga lives modestly in her own personal heaven, a world given to her in exchange for her earthly life. Her two daughters grow up in this soft place, protected from the violence that once harmed their mother. But the real world cannot be denied forever—magicked men and wild bears break down the borders of Liga’s refuge. Now, having known Heaven, how will these three women survive in a world where beauty and brutality lie side by side?")
