Let's Hear It For My Daughter Tessa!

My daughter Tessa received an honorable mention in a teen short story contest.

Whoo hoo! I'm so proud of her. Her short story "Reign of the Wolves" is a fantasy about a wolf colony that rules a world where humans are the minority. She did a fabulous job on it. Maybe some day she'll let me post part of it.

Congrats to Tricia Sanders!

Coffee and Critique member Tricia Sanders won 2nd place in two categories of the Springfield Writers' Guild Contest.

• 2nd Place in the Prose-Nostalgia Category for Down Home
• 2nd Honorable Mention in the Jim Stone Memorial Non-Fiction Category for Sins of the Season

Way to go, Tricia. (Okay, is it wrong I also feel like I'm giving myself a pep talk by congratulating someone who has the same name? I digress)

This is just two in a long line of contest wins for her, so I'm sure we'll be seeing more in the future. The Missouri Writers' Guild contest, perhaps?

Congratulations, Claudia

Congratulations to Claudia Shelton on her third place win for her adult short fiction story, "Westward With Hope" in the Abilene Writers Guild Contest 2007.
