It’s that time again!

Actually, it’s waaaay past time for another Kimber Award. It’s been almost two years. So what can I say? One of us is slow as molasses in January. Hi, Mom.

Not to worry, Cheesecake. Cuz Mom and I? We’re making up for lost time today by announcing two Kimber Awardees today.

You may recall that 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.

Prestigious

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 winners of the Kimber Award 5.0 are:

Michael Wegner, author of Letters From the Saddle. Check out our review.
