I just returned from vacationing in South Carolina. Vacation in and of itself is a great thing, but on my way to Murrells Inlet, I checked my e-mail and discovered that I was a winner of the 2014 Florida Writers Association Short Story Collection #6. You’re probably wondering what that means and why I’m so excited. It means my short story, The Bridge, was selected along with fifty-nine others to be published in the FWA Collection #6 The First Step. Writers submitted short stories, up to 1,200 words in length, relating to any first venture. Judging this years contest is New York Times and USA Today best selling novelist, Mary Burton. From the sixty selections, Ms. Burton will now select her top ten choices. The top ten will be announced later this year at the FWA Writers Conference in Lake Mary, Florida. This was my first writing contest, so I was ecstatic to learn that my story was going to be published. Thanks to FWA, I can now add, published author to my resume.
