For the past five years, I have served as a judge for the Royal Palm Literary Award competition, in the areas of Creative Nonfiction and Fiction, Short Story.

Received Two Royal Palm Literary Awards in 2014, at the Florida Writers Association Annual Conference, for my published stories.

I am thrilled and honored to have received these awards.
