Chocolatour wins bronze medal!
I’m thrilled to announce that “Chocolatour: A Quest for the World’s Best Chocolate” has been awarded a Bronze Medal in the 2014 Readers’ Favorite Book Awards! 
I plan to go to Miami in November to claim my award, but for now, this badge, and the lovely certificate they have sent me will do.
Thanks to everyone who has supported this book through every stage: the offering of guidance, contributing to the crowdfunding campaign on Indiegogo, buying the book, attending Chocolatour events, sending me chocolate samples and granting me interviews, inviting me to attend chocolate events and attractions, offering me discounted travel and accommodations so that I can continue to conduct my global research, technical support, reviewing the book, etc.
Each and every one of these acts of kindness and support has been integral to my success. Thanks so much to all of you. Please help me continue to spread the word about Chocolatour.
In appreciation,
Doreen Pendgracs, Award-winning Author

Hi Pat: Thx so much for your friendship and support. We’ll have to do another trip together one of these days …
Congratulations to you, Doreen! What a great honor. After all that chocolate you’ve had to eat, you deserve an award. 🙂 We are all very happy for you!
Thx so much, Susan. It is a pleasure to satisfy my figure for the good of all chocolate lovers! Thx for being along for the ride as we discovered chocolate and wine pairings through the Napa Valley. Looking forward to doing another journey of exploration with you.
Congratulations! Very well deserved for sure. I’ve been on this journey with you from the start. You work hard every day and you are so passionate about sharing your love and knowledge of travel and chocolate. I am so happy others are seeing how worthwhile your information is.
Thx so much, Suzanne. It is indeed great having you on my team of supporters and chocolateurs. It’s been so much work, but I’m thrilled that things are finally starting to gel.
WooHoo! I think I remember when you were talking about this possibility Doreen. You certainly earned this recognition. Time for you to celebrate now. Keep us posted. And congratulations.
Thanks, Pat! I certainly plan on having some fine wine tonight. And perhaps a piece of fine chocolate as well! Thx again for your support.
Congratulations, Doreen! You have worked so hard on this book, and the marketing. It’s truly been a remarkable ride.
So, Miami in November–sounds great!
