Awards and recognition

As you know, Scoochie's Adoption Story has recently earned the Readers' Favorite Five Stars recognition and has been additionally entered into the Readers' Favorite larger book competition.  It was an honor to receive the Five Stars recognition and it is equally humbling to be in the competition along with so many talented authors.   While I never set out to win awards, I will admit that the prospect of having one's book competing is exhilarating.

This weekend, I took inventory of all the award competitions and book lists to which Scoochie's Adoption Story has been submitted.  The list is substantial for a book that has only been published for two months.  With the exception of the Firebird Book Awards, the results of most of these competitions won't be known until the end 2022 or even into 2023.​

I am excited to have Scoochie's Adoption Story be part of the Firebird Book Awards because of this award organization's support of the non-profit organization Enchanted Makeovers.  Since 2007, Enchanted Makeovers has been creating environments and educational programs within shelters for women and children that are supportive of creativity, self-expression and worth.  Through unique projects and programs, a place is created that is inspirational and empowering for the most vulnerable members of our society while re-building their lives.  Knowing that participation in the Firebird Book Awards is also helping to support this worthy cause makes it feels as if I've already won!  The Firebird Book Awards are run quarterly, so the official competition results for the first quarter of 2022 competition are expected by mid-April.  
I'll be sure to announce and share any positive competition results.  Please check back often and, until then, here's to wishful thinking.  :)
