Can you give us the citation so we can look it up? As for the bio, my tendency would be to mention other publications, as well as talks or whatever else you do genealogically. Keep it short, though, just enough to leave them wanting more! And check what others have done there in KA for their bios.

I was just notified that I was selected to receive the Anne Walker Fitzgerald Award for an article I wrote that was published in Kentucky Ancestors. Needless to say I am stunned. I didn't even know they gave awards for articles! They have asked that I write a short biographical description about myself including how I started researching and writing I have done. The article I won the award for was my first. Any advice would be appreciated.
