Finalist in Writing Contest

Yes, it's been a lot of years since I finaled in a writing contest---then again, I haven't applied for a while either.

Just received notice from the Virginia Romance Writers Fool for Love Contest that our book, If You're Sending Me Back to Earth---At Least Give Me My Stilettos---makes me and my writing partner finalists in the paranormal category.

The best that could happen is the book gets represented by the agent who is reading it. The worst---we get a specific critique on what we can fix to make it perfect. Sounds like a win-win situation.

Amazing how just one little e-mail can wipe out all those rejection letters and make me feel hopeful again.

Hope your day is as fantastic as mine!

Hopefully,

Carolyn

Hi, Carolyn:
Congratulations again! Re your SinC-IC post on talking about nostalgia, I sent you an e-mail but it bounced. Why don't you e-mail me at:
browning.pat@gmail.com
and tell me what you had in mind.
All best --
Pat

Hello Carolyn, I just finished reading your book 'living well with anxiety'. I've been living with anxiety for 5 years, taking a prescription drug to treat it and not much else.
Your book inspired me to take a more active role in my anxiety, and to work towards alternate options in treatment.

my email is rtwolves@hotmail.com if you have any other insights that i could use.
Thank you!
