Congratulations, Karen! I remember when you got Huey! And hearing about his antics shortly thereafter. I’m excited for you! I know how it feels to see that first book in print and hold it on your hands!

Keep your award dream alive by looking for the best ones and submitting your application. Some aren’t terribly reputable or important; they’re just a way for someone to collect application fees but they don’t actually give you any respectable credibility, so you have to be careful about the ones you select.

Good luck!
