As mentioned in my profile, I wrote and published several short stories, mostly in the science fiction vein but a few were also more fantasy than anything else.
Then in 2000, I wrote an unusual blend of SF/F Romance that I entered in RWA's Golden Heart Contest. Imagine my surprise when HEARTSTONE finaled! This same manuscript finaled in the following contests.
RWA's Golden Heart-Paranormal
TARA First Impressions-Paranormal
Unfortunately, it hasn't acquired a lot of interest by either editors or agents but I'm still pushing it. In fact, last October I submitted it to another agent. I haven't heard anything--yet--but hope springs eternal.
After HEARTSTONE, I wrote DEVIL'S CHOICE. That's the one I'm currently polishing (revising isn't really what I'm doing). DEVIL'S CHOICE has been entered in a number of RWA Chapter contests and has either finaled or won. Here's a list:
Golden Gateway 2002 Paranormal
OVRWA Enchanted Quill 2003, Paranormal
Golden Pen 2003, TGN, Paranormal
Ignite The Flame 2003, Paranormal
Molly 2003, Paranormal
MRW Stepping Stone 2003
NOLA Stars Suzannah 2003, Paranormal
Duel on the Delta 2003, Paranormal
Great Expectations 2003-2004, Paranormal
Merritt 2004, Paranormal
When DEVIL'S CHOICE won the Ignite The Flame, the editor judge requested the full manuscript, so I've got my fingers crossed. Unfortunately, after I sent it to him, I realized there were some typo's/areas of weak motivation, so I'm busy correcting those.
After I wrote DEVIL'S CHOICE, I started a new novel--RIDER. I've only entered this one in one contest and it not only finaled but the editor judge requested the full manuscript--which is a problem since it isn't quite finished.
The Molly 2004, Paranormal
This story is definitely a futuristic, taking place on different world's and far in the future. I've got great hopes for it too.
