And the Winner Is…

After whirlwind 24-hours in Orlando Florida to find the results of the 2015 Royal Palm Literary Awards, I came away a double winner!

Within Emerald Forests received 1st place for Middle Grade Fiction – Published

and

Under Sapphire Skies received 3rd place for Middle Grade Fiction – Unpublished

It was a great weekend:) Thank you everyone who has supported me in my writing journey with a special thanks to Katelin Maloney who went to the banquet with me and stayed up way past her bedtime to hear the announcements!
