A Kemptville author’s latest book has been named “Best Novel” in Canada.
For the second time in his career, Michael Blouin has won the national ReLit Award for Best Novel for 2020, for his novel
Skin House.
Blouin is the first author to win twice in the category, after winning back in 2009 for his novel Chase and Heaven.
“I knew I was on the shortlist and I wasn’t really expecting to win because I’d won before,” Blouin said. “I was pretty excited though. I’ve always wanted to put that notch on my belt, and it was quite a thrill to be able to do it.”

Budding astronaut Elizabeth, from Leicester, became obsessed with space after watching the landing of Nasa’s Perseverance Rover on Mars last year and decided to build her own rocket.
She launched a 7ft cardboard model of the Vulcan Centaur rocket – which will blast off to the Moon – from her garden in January. When it soared 30ft into the air, the impressed makers of the real Vulcan Centaur, American space launch experts United Launch Alliance, and Astrobotic, which created the lander it will carry, got in touch.
They offered her room for her sticker on board the first lunar time capsule which will contain items from those lucky or wealthy enough to get a slot.
