I've been Nominated for a Dog Writers' Assn. Award!

I just learned that a story I wrote on Wisconsin dog rescuers and fostering ("Foster Families for Pets," by Christine A. Verstraete, Jan/Feb. 2012 PRIME Magazine) has been nominated for a Maxwell Medallion in the Feature in Mainstream Magazines category of the 2012 Dog Writer's Association of America awards competition.
    
Winners will be announced at the association's banquet on Feb. 10, 2013 in New York City.
