Another year, another successful Rogues Gallery Writers charge into the Florida Writers Association Royal Palm Literary Awards! Rebekah Hunter Scott earned First Place in the book-length category Humor/Satire with her offering of Motherhood is Easy...as long as you have nothing else to do for the next 50 years. This book is a hilarious take on motherhood, heck, parenting! As a father I've read it five times and laughed each time. This is an absolutely well-deserved award.
Also winning at the RPLA's was Rogue Michael Ray King. He earned the top two spots in the Published Poetry category with the poems Melody of a New Dawning and No One's There. Both of these poems come from the book Loves Lost and Found which won a First Place RPLA in 2009 for the poem Rendezvous. Rogue King also earned a First Place finish for Why Me? in the Unpublished Short Story category.
Now is the time for all good Rogues to gear up for next year. In order to win awards like this, a writer must have his/her material written and edited by spring. Not much time if you wait until January to write, so it's back to the keyboards Rogues!!!
