Reboot - and Writers Of The Future... almost

In an unprecedented (for me) move, I’m going to post twice this week… once today and once for the blog hop on Wednesday. I thought about spacing these out “better”, but then I decided with the coronapacolypse and the end of the world (that doesn’t seem to be ending) I would be better off doing both now. Before something else happens and I forget or run out of time or just can’t face it for a while.

So!

In reverse order… I got a phone call last week to tell me one of my stories IS A FINALIST in the Writers of the Future contest! Woo! It’s being judged this week and next week with 7 other stories and then they’ll let us know how we placed.

Finally jumping from Honorable Mentions and Silver Honorable Mentions to Finalist (no matter where I place) makes me jump up and down and squee. (If I knew how to emoji that here, I’d do it!)

Second, my short story REBOOT is on presale now - another win for me! It has a beautiful cover, thanks to my friend Cat (see the acknowledgments) and I’m excited to share it with you all in May.

Amazon and Barnes and Noble and I just realized I haven’t put it on Smashwords which distributes to Apple and Kobo and other places, so I still have some work to do!

Please reach out to me if you like something I’ve written, or if I’ve distracted you from the present, even if only for a little while.

Stay healthy and stay safe!
