I entered my short story, Shrapnel, in a contest over the summer with In The Snake magazine, and got the results back just yesterday. Though I didn't place, my story was a finalist and that makes me feel good!

To see a list of all the finalists, you can check out their official announcement. I have a lot of other plans for exposure - including more giveaways on Goodreads - and hopefully I'll be able to get some more people introduced to my work.

Remember, if you like it, then please share! My next book will be an actual fictional novel - so the poetry will be on hold for a little while. In the meantime... I've got some homework to finish for class!
