My June News and A Contest Survey to Win an Amazon Gift Card

The cat’s already out of the bag, literally, because my character cat, Sneaky, already posted this on his blog but for those who missed the post, I’ve been awarded Certificates of Excellence from the Cat Writers’ Association for my article, “Keeping Indoor Pets Safe from Household Dangers,”; Sneaky’s blog, https://sneakylibrarycat.wordpress.com; and my short story, “Sneaky’s Christmas Mystery.” I’m very honored to have been recognized for these awards and am now in the running for CWA’s coveted Muse Medallion. The winners of the medallions will be announced at a virtual awards ceremony in July, date TBA.

On Wednesday, June 3, I’ll be appearing on the Podcast, “Once and Future Authors” that will be shared on Facebook and YouTube, as well as iTunes, Spotify, Google Play and Stitcher. When the links are available, I will add them to this post.

Here is a link to a survey that I’m sending to my newsletter and blog subscribers. If you subscribe to both, you can only take it once. Complete the survey by June 6 to be eligible to win a $10 amazon gift card. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/LFKZLS7

Thanks for your support, and good luck in the contest!
