Over the past 10 years I'm honored to have won 19 Certificates of Excellence and 2 Muse Medallions from the Cat Writers' Association. On August 9th I learned that I added 2 more to my collection from the 2026 contest. It was Mudpie's Gotcha Day, which made it even more special.
Article, Feline-Human Bond, Long Good Night, Sweet Prince
Article, Feline Human Bond, Short Dear Mudpie
These pieces mean the world to me because they honor two cats that have had a tremendous impact on my life - Mo after his passing, and Mudpie after a decade together. Muse Medallions will be given out at the Cat Writers Conference in Dallas/Fort Worth in November. Just being a contender is such an incredible honor!
Never in my wildest dreams did I think such things were possible when I joined the CWA back in 2013. Cats are my greatest passion and being recognized for my creative endeavors involving them is truly a dream come true.
