HUGE CONGRATULATIONS to all.

A huge thank you to all the people who have come in to Barbara's Books and helped, and are still helping, with the Clendon Award. Running the Clendon Award is a massive job, and has only been made possible by all the people who helped. Well over 200 volunteer hours so far, and still it continues.

There were a ton of excellent stories this year, and we loved reading them. I hope you all enjoy your writing as much as we enjoy reading it.
