Honored!

This past week, the Arizona Library Association held their annual meeting. Each year, they present the Judy Goddard Award to a young adult author. This year, that author was me! I’m very lucky I didn’t have food stuck in my back teeth because I was smiling so wide, you would have seen it. 🙂

As I said at the lunch, it’s always amazing to be recognized. But it’s even more special when you’re recognized by a group that you respect so much. My mom is a retired librarian; my sister is a librarian. I have so much admiration for the job librarians do–this was definitely a day I’ll always remember.
