I could write another post, but then I'd have to wait till tomorrow to find the time, so I'll just add this here. I won! I really won! I'm really going to have my story published in Second Wind's mystery anthology! With Pat Bertram and other real authors! I'm so thrilled!
And thank you, thank you, thank you to all of you for your kind and helpful comments, for encouraging me, for helping me write better on gather, and for reading and voting. It's a good job it's evening, 'cause I'm flying over the moon. Thank you gather friends!
I entered Second Wind Publishing’s “Murder in the Wind” competition, and my short story is one of three short-listed for inclusion in the anthology. Now I just need to garner some votes and I might get published in the same volume as Pat Bertram and other favorite authors… Well, at least I can dream. So, if you want to read three really fun murder mysteries, just follow the link, or go to secondwindpublishing.com and click on contests. All three stories are printed together on the page, and there’s a place for you to vote down at the bottom. Second Wind are really great about voting in their competitions—they don’t ask you to join anything or offer up your firstborn or other valuables. And one lucky voter will even win a free copy of the book! So, happy reading, and please vote for one of us:
“Distractions” by Deborah Watson
“Jack” by Sheila Deeth
“Lady Blue” by Carla Damron

Sheila, I went and read your story. It was chilling and absorbing. When I voted for you it wanted my email address. One question. Do our email addresses show in public. I would really hate that.
I really do hope you win. It is a winner to me. I did not know you were writing so much. Very impressive. How in the world do you manage? Good luck.
