Good News!

It's been many moons since my last post and I am properly ashamed.

There, was that a good enough apology? Good, because I have news. 

I've talked about my desire and hesitations about entering contests on this blog and I finally entered one this summer. 

Today I got news that I came in second place in the historical category for The True Confessions of a Lady Novelist for the 4th Annual Dixie Kane Memorial Contest hosted by SOLA. 

Ah, sweet validation!
