And the Talents Cultura Award Goes to...


My Adventures with the Goolz continue as I was awarded the Talents Cultura 2018 for The Goolz Next Door: A Bad Night for Bullies.
I received the the award at La Maison de l'Amérique Latine in Paris during a fantastibulous ceremony hosted by French writer Gilles Legardinier and the awesome team of Cultura.
On top of a beautiful trophy and tons of accolades - The Goolz Next Door will be featured in all of the 88 Cultura bookstores all over France during a full year.
So... Go Goolz Forever! And #HappyGoolzDay!
