Lots of results this week!
The preliminary results for Writing Battle's Spring Micro were just announced and my little Small Town Secret is heading to the final showdown!
As so many of us NYCM writers do, I live in fear of being assigned the dreaded Political Satire genre... but I had a ton of fun with it for R2 of the NYCM Short Story contest, and my silly magazine article spoof managed to come in 3rd!
This means that I'll be writing in R3 this weekend :)
I was over the moon to learn that my story, "Girl Season", won Globe Soup's Paranormal Contest! 🎉

I'm camping with my family on the weekend and they may be offended if I disappear to listen to a 2.5 hour podcast...it would be awesome if it dropped earlier! (Don't get me wrong...I WILL disappear to listen to a 2.5 hour podcast if I have to 😅)
This was my favourite story on the short list! Congrats to him!
