The mail car stopped at my gate about half an hour ago, I strolled out and collected that which had been delivered, and on opening a large flat envelope find that I’ve received the Certificate of Excellence from the (International) Cat Writer’s Association, for my story – The Domen – in the May issue of UK’s Penumbra ezine. Receiving this is also a nomination for the Muse Medallion,which is announced in November after further evaluation of the nominee stories.
(The Certificate is judged by a panel of three judges. In order to receive it all three must assess the work quality as 90% or higher, so receiving the Certificate is something of an accolade.)
