Somewhere Over the Sun

I’m not sure what it says that my contest received more entries than votes, but there it is.

The winner is Finalist #1- Dawn Ryan!!!

Congratulations, Dawn, for your awesome story about Iris and the flowery bills. It would only be fair to let you, dear readers, know that Dawn was my editor while writing the novel. So, obviously she has read my novel. Now, before you go screaming foul play, remember that you guys were the ones voting. So I’m glad you agree with me that Dawn is a good enough writer to be trusted with editing the book. But since this contest was all about getting someone new to read the novel, we have a conundrum on our hands, right? Wrong! Here’s the solution: Dawn needs to be rewarded for her story, so she will be receiving the super-secret outline for my next book.

Second place was Finalist #4- Edgar Gutierrez.

Congratulations, Edgar, you get to read my manuscript!

Thank you to all the participants, including the other two finalists Diego Valderrama for his story “Good Words to Know” and Cody Cox for the imaginative “Harvey Huffer: Wild Arctic Kung Fu Monkey, King of Frozen Bananas.”

I hope everyone enjoyed this contest, please tune in as I continue to shamelessly self-promote this blog and my upcoming novel, Somewhere Over the Sun.
