Pat - Oh, thanks for the info! I always like it when authors who are talented but not yet published get support.
Hope they get enough entries in each category.
hmmm this kinda excites me :)
Those are some good prizes.
Thanks for mentioning the contest Pat.
Thanks for posting about the contest, Pat. I'm the contest coordinator and I really want to encourage people to enter so that we can grow the contest to include more genres such as children's books and possibly poetry. Thanks again for the support! :-)
