How cool is that? I won third place in the Hyperink Romance Writing Contest with my story “Life After”. It’s the first time I’ve won a writing contest since I got second place when I entered a contest in third grade. That one was sponsored by the publishers of the youth bulletin they gave out in Sunday School. I remember I read the contest and wrote a story about a young girl in the United States and a young girl in Russia. Both reflected on the possibility of nuclear war and wondered what Jesus would do. (This was before WWJD? so I’m pretty sure somebody stole that idea from me—just kidding!)

If you’d like to read my story, it will appear in the Romance Writing Anthology e-book, coming soon from Hyperink Press. For now, you can check out an excerpt here: Hyperink Romance Writing Contest.
