2021 Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards Banquet & Ceremony
After much pivoting and then some more pivoting due to Covid’s impact, we are having (knock-on-wood, fingers-crossed, throwing salt over our left shoulders) our first In-Real-Life conference since 2019! And we are so excited!
Exciting plans for this weekend:
Master Writing Class – Film Techniques for Writing Fiction
Thursday, June 23, 1 – 4:30 p.m. Jessica Morrell presents.
How film techniques can be translated onto the page from viewpoint to mastering props and subtext. It begins with making powerful choices and identifying key moments that need emphasis, when to whisper and suggest, and when to stage and let the camera roll.
This class is being offered In Real Life and ALSO will be ZOOMED LIVE from the Hotel Bellwether’s Compass Room on June 23rd from 1 – 4:30 p.m. The recording will be available for seven days for later viewing for those who have registered for the Master Writing Class In Real Life OR Virtual.
IRL will feature two luncheons, two cocktail parties, two seated dinners, and two After Dinner Gatherings — All in the Bellwether Ballroom along with photo sessions, book fair, kaffeeklatsches, and great sessions on unlocking the secrets to successful publishing.
IRL registrations include access to the Zoom recordings for seven days.
But that’s not all!
BOOKs By the BAY Book Fair – Saturday and Sunday (Sunday is open to the general public).
2021 CIBA Banquet and Ceremony on June 25, 2022
The excite builds! Who will take home the Overall Grand Prize for the Chanticleer Int’l Book Awards?
VIRTUAL CAC22
And, last but not least, VIRTUAL Registration is available for the Master Class and the CAC 22 Sessions and includes the 2021 CIBA awards ceremony. These Zoomed sessions will be available for seven days for you to view at your leisure.
Our 2020 CAC was virtual (VCAC20 held in September 2020). We were hoping that 2021 would be IRL, but alas, it was virtually held also – in two parts: a virtual conference (VCAC21) in April and the 2020 CIBA Ceremonies in June. We were at least able to have a few of our local Chanticleerians to join us at the Hotel Bellwether here in Bellingham where we broadcasted (Zoomed) the events.
Now, we are finally able to gather IRL (In Real Life). CAC22 was originally scheduled for early April, but Covid numbers ramped up (extremely so) in January and February. We decided to err on the side of prudence with moving the conference to June — the only weekend that the Hotel Bellwether had available. Pivot. Pivot. Pivot.
And, now, the weekend is upon us! Due to many requests, we are offering the conference virtually along with the IRL conference. If any of you have had to offer HYBRID events, you will know how challenging it is logistically and technology-wise. Thank goodness for Argus Brown, Kiffer’s husband and IT guy to make the virtual-hybrid-live conference take place.
The 2021 CIBA Banquet and Ceremony is sponsored and hosted by CAC22. It can be confusing, since the awards program runs a year behind the actual conference year. We are now accepting 2022 CIBA entries. The CIBA 2022 awards will be presented at CAC23. July 15th, 2022 we begin accepting 2023 entries in several divisions as submission deadlines are met. 2023 CIBAs winners will be announced at CAC24. And, so on.
We hope that you will join us!
SAVE THE DATES: CAC 23 is scheduled for April 26 – 30, 2020!
Trouble the Water follows the incredible Robert Smalls who was born enslaved. He liberated himself and others, served five terms in the US Congress, and introduced compulsory public education. He changed countless lives.
Want to compete for the prestigious CIBA grand prize? Enter today!
His story – his life and legacy – is inspirational and aspirational. And mostly unknown.
Bruff reveals the true story of the life of Robert Smalls. Set in the Civil War era, we follow Smalls as he navigates through a life of enslavement, the dangers of war, and a desperate attempt at escape. Trouble the Water is a moving tale of slavery, perseverance, war, freedom, and love.
Rebecca Bruff earned her Bachelor’s degree in education (Texas A&M) and Master and Doctorate degrees in theology (Southern Methodist University). In 2017, she was a scholarship recipient for the prestigious Key West Literary Seminar. She volunteers at the Pat Conroy Literary Center in Beaufort, South Carolina. She’s published non-fiction, plays a little tennis, travels when she can, and loves life in the lowcountry with her husband and an exuberant golden retriever.
Her play opens at Will Geer’s Theatricum Botanicum where it will run from July 9th – October 2nd. Freely Adapted by Ellen Geer and Directed by Gerald Rivers. If you’re in the area of Topanga, California during its run, we recommend checking it out!
We hope that, like us at Chanticleer, you will be moved by Robert Smalls’s courageous life of thoughtful, compassionate leadership
Why did Bruff write this story?
I’m a writer. I believe that the stories we read and write and tell have the power to shape and change our lives. I believe that – because a story changed my life.
Nine years ago, when I lived in Texas, I visited the lowcountry. It was my first experience here, and it was brief, but we made time for a carriage tour through the historic district of Beaufort. And that’s when I heard a little bit of the story of a man named Robert Smalls. I’d never heard his name, and I’d never heard the story. But he intrigued me. His courage, and his heroism, and his contributions, and legacy intrigued me.
His story ignited my curiosity. Curiosity led to exploration, and exploration led to discovery, and I discovered how little I knew about our history. I discovered how little I understood about the experiences of enslaved people in our country. I discovered that some stories get amplified, while other stories get silenced.
Congratulations once more to Rebecca Dwight Bruff on her Overall Grand Prize Win, and we’re delighted to crow with you about this most recent accomplishment! We look forward to what’s next!

“The must-read story of Robert Smalls. An Inspiring story of courage that we need today. It rings with heroic action along with thoughtfulness and sincerity that will keep you going until the end. A must read! Five Stars!” – Chanticleer Book Reviews

Memorial Day: Honoring Those Who Have Lost Their Lives in Service to Our Nation
In the U.S.A., Memorial Day, originally called Decoration Day, is a day of remembrance of those who died in service to their country. The holiday was officially proclaimed in 1868 to honor Union and Confederate soldiers who loss their lives in the Civil War.
The latest historical research has the Civil War death toll at 850,000. This number has surpassed all the other wars the U.S.A. has fought in combined. The population was estimated to be approximately 31 million (not counting Native Americans or Blacks).
This translates roughly to one out of ten white males of service age (ten-years-old to mid-forties) died as a result of the Civil War with the younger males incurring the biggest loss of life. [History.com]
Click here to access the U.S. Census Memorial Day Infographic for more information and the complete infographic.
The important takeaway from this graphic is that all other wars, skirmishes, conflicts, and battles that the US has been involved with combined, none have taken the toll that the the war that took place on the U.S. soil—the Civil War—has. Period.
Civil War Death Toll: 850,000 deaths (latest research)
All Other US Military Involvements since 1870s until 2020: 707,081 deaths
Memorial Day is one of three official US Holidays to honor those who serve or who have served in the Armed Forces. To help keep them in order, those three holidays are:
Memorial Day, a federal holiday, is observed the last Monday in May, honors those who have lost their lives in action in service to our nation.
Veterans Day, a federal holiday, that is observed every year on November 11th to honor all those who have served in the Armed Forces.
Armed Forces Day is a celebration day that honors all active and former personnel across the six branches of the United States military. It is celebrated on the third Saturday of every May. This year’s was on May 21, 2022.
As any of you know, the head and founder of Chanticleer Book Reviews, Kiffer Brown is a self-described military brat. Her father, brother, nephews, and cousins have served in the military. Recognizing and honoring the service of those in the Armed Forces is a longstanding tradition for her and her family.
National Moment of Remembrance
On Memorial Day, remember that there is a National Moment of Remembrance. To honor the moment, pause for one minute at 3 p.m. at your local time, and remember those who have died in service to this nation.
2nd Lt Billy Wayne Flynn, U.S. Army. West Point Graduate
Second Lieutenant Billy Wayne Flynn was killed in action, Vietnam, January 23, 1967. He was 24 years old. Billy Wayne gave to me a book of poetry from his studies at West Point before he left for Viet Nam. He was my cousin. It was my first book of poetry and has his notes. I was in fourth grade. I still have it and treasure it. – Kiffer
We’ve been waiting for a long time to do something more to recognize those who served.
The Military and Front Line Book Awards
Every year we receive several non-fiction books that deal with serving in the military or some other frontline capacity in service to our nation. This year the number and quality of submissions was great enough that we are excited to announce the new division that recognizes work focusing on those in Military or Front Line Service.
The new Division honors the following Non-Fiction Narratives:
Military and Armed Forces Service Narratives
Medical Stories focused on Nurses, Doctors, Health Care Workers, and other Essential Workers
Stories of Community Service Workers such as Firefighters and Police
CARE, Peace Corps, Red Cross, Doctors Without Borders, and other service organizations
Work in Agencies that serve their Community and Government
Families of those who serve in these Community Roles
Interesting to Note and Why We Honor Our Military and Front Line Heroes:
To put the Covid Pandemic (2020 to Current Day – 26 months) into perspective: the USA Covid Fatalities are more than 1 million (1,004,726 as per John Hopkins University & Medicine (May 28, 2022). Additionally, the USA has the highest fatality rate per capita (accounting for population) from Covid than any other first world country on the planet.
The USA loss more people in 26 months to Covid than in all military involvements since the 1870s. And with those losses, the death toll includes first-line responders: nurses, doctors, health workers, caretakers, emergency responders, and health care workers.
The 1918 Flu Pandemic that spread worldwide in 1918 – 1919 took more than 675,000 lives in the U.S.A. So many physicians and nurses were called into military service for World War I that able-bodied persons were asked to take medical training to offer aid in fighting the epidemic.
Red Cross Volunteers – The 1918 Flu Pandemic
The Military and Front Line Awards will be a Division for the 2023 CIBAs. Get your work ready now, and the deadline to submit will likely be in the late fall. You can see the 2021 Finalists for the Military and Front Line Book Awards here.
Keep Telling Stories – They Are Needed!
We are always honored to be trusted with any book at Chanticleer. It is a pleasure to be able to highlight these stories in particular with their own division.
“Patriotism is supporting your country all the time, and your government when it deserves it.“–Mark Twain
“How important it is for us to recognize and celebrate our heroes and she-roes!” –Maya Angelou
“A hero is someone who has given his or her life to something bigger than oneself.” —Joseph Campbell
