I was once again voted Best Author of Nassau County in “The Best of The Best” contest for 2022, sponsored by Blank Slate Media, my THIRD year in a row, having retained my title from 2021 AND 2020.
This validates everything I have hoped for, working non-stop for so very long to have both MY writings AND those of my MOTHER’S recognized. I always knew my mother was brilliant, but now I know FOR SURE, I AM TOO! I can proudly say, I am the author and editor of an award-winning body of work.
Additionally, my mother and I received literary honors in the 2021 “Worldwide Royal Dragonfly Book Awards Contest,” for Letters, Journals and Diaries, Autobiography/Biography, Poetry and Plays, achieving this over hundreds of other entrants. Incredibly, ALL TEN books have won the hearts of so many, which is a REMARKABLE FEAT. No one I know of has achieved such an honor.
Now my children’s books – “Runaway,” “A Letter For Molly,” and “Grandfather,” all written by my mother and adapted by me, are out! While my six book series about Penelope, along with my one stand alone book, “Julie’s BIG DAY,” have been slated for publication in 2022, several of which have ALREADY been published: “Penelope’s New Bed,” “How Penelope Learned There Really Is A Santa Claus,” “Penelope Causes An UPROAR,” “Penelope’s Half-Birthday,” and “Julie’s BIG DAY.” The remaining two – “Penelope’s Half-Birthday,” “Penelope Gets A Birdhouse,” and “Penelope’s New Bike,” will arrive by the end of the year.
