I am so deeply honored and extremely proud to have won a Cat Writers Association Muse Medallion for “The Candlewick Caper.” 
I’m thrilled the judges loved the story and these three mischievous cats!
The story was inspired by an anthology theme in the Holiday Hijinks series. The publisher was looking for stories about animals getting into mischief or having adventures around a winter holiday. I instantly knew what I wanted to write about: cats inspired by my own little schemers.
My gray tabby is typically the mastermind, digging sandwich scraps out of the garbage to share with his orange tabby brothers or showing them how to jump onto the countertop to access that most delicious of forbidden delicacies: an unattended butter dish. The kitties in “The Candlewick Caper” are similarly impish at their humans’ Yule craft night.
It is seriously the cutest collection I’ve gotten to be a part of. There isn’t anything scary in this one, just some good wholesome fun.
You can find “The Candlewick Caper” in TIDBITS & TINSEL TAILS from Camden Park Press, and you can get signed copies on my website (they make fabulous gifts!).
