Congratulations to all our entrants – the score required to reach the anthology list was high and as you can see, it was very difficult to separate the stories! Thanks as usual to all our volunteer judges, and the contest manager Lis Hoorweg.

Congratulations Imelda!!
Thank you! I was so excited! It was very unexpected!
Woot! Does this mean you co-wrote the piece with Courtney, Imelda – or does it mean there were two winners judged equally? Way to go you 🙂
Oh, that’s a good question! No, it means we were equal first! I’m so curious to read all the other stories, now! The results were CRAZY close. Less than 5% from winners to the cutoff for anthology.
Big congratulations!!!!! Just commented on the romance writers blog. So not up with this social media
I saw it! Made me giggle! Thank you! ❤
That’s fantastic news, well done you (and it’s a great little tale, of course!). Really proud of you.
Thank you! I was so chuffed and I’m very touched by your support.
Congratulations!!! I’m not surprised, though… I love your style! ❤
