NOVEMBER 2016: Honorable Mention

My Young Adult paranormal short story, The Haunting Season, received an "Honorable Mention" from the Hudson Valley Writer's Guild in their 2016 Writing Contest for Fiction. I thank them.

 

SEPTEMBER 2016: A finalist once more!

In early September I was notified that I was a 2016 Pages From the Heart Finalist in the YA category (Unpublished Author Division) for my novel, The Haunting Season. What began as a short story for an anthology call which didn't make it and then entered on a whim to another contest in which it finaled, has become the little story that could. These characters and their situations remained with me for weeks until I knew I had to lengthen it. I have.) Winners will be announced on November 2nd. This contest is sponsored by From the Heart Romance Writers RWA Chapter 177. Once again, I am honored.

UPDATE: I received an "Honorable Mention" in November. Thank you.
