THIS JUST IN : I take great pride and pleasure in announcing that both novels, "The Flour Convoy" and "The February 23 Coup", written by Guyanese-American writer Chaitram Singh, have been nominated for "Book of the Year" by the Georgia Writers Association. Winners will be announced on June 16, 2012. Chaitram is an old boy of Corentyne High School and Queen's College of Guyana.


I read February 23 Coup. Suggest that you guys should read it, although it is a fiction I can relate to some of the things Chaitram talked about in the book.

Wishing you Good Luck, Chaitram.
