CBC
Kingsville author Gord Grisenthwaite is one of three authors with Windsor's Palimpsest Press that are finalists for the Governor General's Literary Awards.
Grisenthwaite said he didn't know he was a finalist until another finalist tweeted congratulations at him.
"I had no clue what she was talking about, so I had to Google it," he said of co-finalist Sadiqa De Meijer.
"I hadn't checked my email, so I had no idea."
Aimée Dunn, publisher at Palimpsest Press, said it's "huge" for the organization.
"It's a huge recognition for our company and for our authors," she said.
"It gets a lot of recognition for what we're putting out there for small presses. Specifically, you know, that the small press community, that we're putting out books that are are worthy of awards."

Health Minister Adriana LaGrange is alleging the former CEO of Alberta Health Services was unwilling and unable to implement the government's plan to break up the health authority, became "infatuated" with her internal investigation into private surgical contracts and made "incendiary and inaccurate allegations about political intrigue and impropriety" before she was fired in January.
