Candy Priano received this recognition for Chapter 1 from her upcoming narrative nonfiction, Fifteen. The Santa Barbara Writers Conference brings fantastic authors, faculty, and staff together with talented, warm-hearted writers for one week in June. Special thanks to Monte Schulz for sponsoring this annual event. Candy believes Kristie delights in the joy of laughter because at the top of this certificate is the image of Snoopy typing the words, “You Can Go Home Again If You Want To.” (2018, photo by Steven Priano)

Fifteen

Crimes called "accidents"

Criminals called "victims"


The Innocent called "Acceptable Collateral Damage"

"The Police Chief" published an article with this quote:

"Abandoning the pursuit does not mean the officer stops apprehension efforts; rather, the officer initiates other resources to bring about the apprehension."
