So happy to congratulate all the winners of the 2015 Royal Palm Literary Award competition, announced Saturday night at the Florida Writers Conference.

Two very special awards were given, as follows:

The Published Book of the Year was Out of Sight, Out of Mind: A Writer’s Guide to Mastering Viewpoint, an educational/informational submission by Ken Pelham.

The Unpublished Book of the Year was Adrift, a mystery, by Micki Browning.

I was tickled pink to receive the first place award in the novella category for Sewing Holes.
