Yesterday I attended the Arizona Library Association's (AZLA) annual conference to accept The Judy Goddard/Libraries Ltd. Award for The Life of Glass! It was such a huge honor that they chose my book this year, and the award is quite possibly the most gorgeous award I've ever seen.
Here I am accepting the award, and giving my acceptance speech!
And here I am doing a panel with the other state award winners, Amanda Noll, Jody Feldman, Me, and Jennifer Ward. That's Mary our excellent moderator on the end :)
Here we are signing books after our panel!
And here is a picture of my AMAZING LOOKING award!!
I'm so grateful to all the amazing librarians in Arizona (and everywhere!) who always support my books. It was a great day, and I felt like a rockstar! I have my award sitting on my desk, where I definitely think it will bring me good luck!!

So cool! And I keep forgetting your hair is short now...love it!
Hurray! Many of my colleagues are at the AzLA conference. I can't wait to ask them if they met you.
I volunteer at the Arizona Braille and Talking Book Library (part of the State Lib). We just finished recording "The Life of Glass"! We hope to be able to record your other two books, as your writing voice is a joy to read.
Thanks, Maureen!
And Brenda, I'm honored :) Is there any way I can get a copy?
Congrats for receiving the most gorgeous award for your book this year.
