IAM CREATIVITY AWARD WINNER IN LITERARY ARTS!

November is the month of gratitude. I am especially grateful for an honor I recently received: 

the 2026 IAM Creativity Award in the Literary Arts from HoCoArts, my community's arts organization.

The awards ceremony was held in the newly designed Capitoline Center in the old Ellicott City, Maryland courthouse, a beautiful space, now retrofitted for artistic endeavors.

It is wonderful that HoCoArts shined a light on folks in my area working in the literary arts. To receive this award gives me a tremendous boost to continue along my author path.
