We give out a super duper, totally pawsitively and magnificently splendiderous author award every once in awhile. Comes with extra pawsome sauce. It’s called The Kimber Award. Because, hey. It’s me.
We’ll get to that in just a min. So kindly keep your hair on, Toots. First an update on The Ole Curmudgeon.
Mom was in the hospital place recently. She hates hospitals. So do I. They won’t allow me inside. Silly hospitals.
Anyway, long story (sort of) short: big cancer scare. Positive screening test results. More screening stuff, procedures and a stay in that nasty hospital place. Everything’s fine. False positive on that nasty initial screening. But it was quite the ordeal. Even with the sweetest furry face on the planet. You’ll be happy to know The Ole Curmudgeon is back to her usual curmudgeonly self, thanks very much.
The Important Stuff
So. On to The Important Stuff: Kimber Awards 4.0.
What? You haven’t heard of this prestigious honor? Maybe that’s cuz I, Kimber, made it up.
Well, okay. Mom helped. A little. She lobbied for “World’s Most Super Duper, Seriously Splendid, Extra Excellent, Terrifically Talented, Genuine Genius-y, and All-Around Awesome Author Awards.”
I nixed that. After all. Someone has to be the adult in the room.
Where was I? Oh yeah. The Kimber Awards. …
Our Highest Award
The Kimber Award is our highest author award. It’s reserved for authors who are four paws above the average kennel. They’re not only wonderfully talented authors. They also:
- Go the extra mile to reach out.
- Engage.
- Like and Comment.
- Share links.
- Ask questions.
- Send us those email thingies.
- Let us know when new books are coming out.
- Follow up.
- Say thank you.
These authors actually read and follow our submission guidelines. (You wouldn’t believe how many people don’t, Buttercup.)
Rare
Yep. Authors who make the cut for a Kimber Award are rare. But they’re good. (Maybe not quite as good as a New York Steak. But let’s not get picky here, okay?)
Drum Roll Please!
So. Drum roll please. The winner of the Kimber Award 4.0 is:
Christopher Hearn
Author of How Did Christianity Begin, Hearn is one of the most amazing and inspiring humanoids we’ve ever run into.

Hey Kimber, please give my congratulations to Christopher Hearn on the award. And, please tell your “Mom” that I’m so glad it was a false positive on the test and she is well! Happy Holidays!

Just reading this now. Oh my. I’ll bet you had a time of it, and your family too. I’m so glad you’re a confounding person, at least to lab tests.

Kimber agrees! 🐾 It was a rough few days. But we’re all good here. Well. One of us – the one with 4 feet – is ALWAYS good. Thank you for taking the time to comment. Merry Christmas!
