Know More: About Jason Boog 2.0, About Jason Boog

I try not to talk about myself too much, but I just found out that I won the Moritz Thomsen Peace Corps Experience Award for my short essay, "The Rainy Season in Guatemala."

It really is an honor to be included in these 2006 awards given out by Peace Corps Writers--a national group that helps volunteers tell their stories. Winners of the group's other awards this year include such amazing writers as Monique Maria Schmidt and Bill Owens.

Check it out:

"In 1992, Moritz Thomsen Peace Corps Experience Award was initiated. It is presented annually to a Peace Corps Volunteer or staff member, past or present for the best short description of life in the Peace Corps. It can be a personal essay, story, poem, letter, cartoon or song. The subject matter can be any aspect of the Peace Corps experience — daily life, assignment, travel, host country nationals, other Volunteers, readjustment."

Congratulations, Jason! Your essay is excellent. I'm almost finished a novel set partly in Guatemala (Panajachel, mostly),but I haven't been there since the 80's. Bad time to go.
I'm glad I found your site.
And thanks for all the excellent help for writers on here. Really.
