I was absolutely honored this week to learn that I am a finalist in the YA category of Chicago-North Romance Writers’ Fire & Ice Contest!
My YA paranormal BENEATH US also finaled in the North Texas Romance Writers’ Great Expectations Contest and the Celtic Hearts Romance Writers’ Golden Claddagh Contest.
Here’s a micro blurb: Reaper by birth–not by choice–Gail hasn’t dared visit the Netherworld since she accidentally killed her boyfriend. When a quirky, hot messenger from Death crashes into her life, she’s faced with a choice between her surface-world dreams and the crumbling cities below.
If you have a manuscript that you feel is ready but haven’t entered a contest yet–consider it. Even if you do not final, the feedback you receive from the judges is invaluable.

Congratulations! Wonderful news.
Thanks, Carrie!
Many congratulations, that’s quite an achievement.
Thank you! Fingers crossed for publishing it now. One day, hopefully. 🙂
I know that just getting a few short stories published in a real, actual, honest to goodness book was a thrill for me, so I wish you the best of luck.
Thank you!! 🙂
Great job! Sounds interesting.
Thanks, Susannah! I’m terrible with blurbs, lol–but that’s the basic gist. Thanks for visiting!!
