WINNER!! “Who Wants to Write a Short Story With Me” Contest

Wow, what a great collection of story ideas. Choosing just one was not easy and honestly it came down to about five minutes ago (as of the writing of this post at 5:45 this morning).
I’d like to say again that just because your story idea wasn’t chosen doesn’t mean it’s not any good. There were a lot of great ideas, creative, inspiring, intriguing, entertaining. Not all were appropriate for a short story, though. In fact, I was able to narrow the field pretty quickly by eliminating the concepts that would require much more than 10,000 words.
There were several that really caught my imagination. Some were surprisingly simple but sometimes it’s the most simple things that make the greatest impact.
Please, if you submitted a story idea and you’re interesting in writing or you are a writer . . . pursue it. Don’t wait. Make the time. Get help if you need it. But do something with it. You have an idea, a concept, a starting point, now go for it!
Okay, not to drag this on too much . . . here is the winner of the second “Who Wants to Write a Short Story With Me” contest:
CATHY GROOVER: I have always wanted to write, but fear kept me from doing so.
Congratulations, Cathy!
A Big Thank You

I’d like to give a big THANK YOU to all who helped promote the three-day giveaway of MIRROR IMAGE. The promotion went very well. I sincerely hope everyone enjoys the story. I know Aaron and I enjoyed writing it. And please write a short review and post it on Amazon. Those reviews carry more punch that you’d think they do.
In fact, I enjoyed the whole process so much I want to do it again. Stay tuned for more information coming next week about an all new “Who Wants to Write a Story With Me?” Contest. And start revving up your creative engine.
Also, if you missed the MIRROR IMAGE giveaway you can still download the story for just $0.99. Just follow this link.
And be watching for another short story to be released April 23. THE LAST HUNT is a tale that will make you think twice about ever going in the woods again.
Coming Soon: Two New Short Stories
MIRROR IMAGE . . . April 2nd!
Almost a year ago I ran a contest where the winner would co-write a short story with me. Well, Aaron Reed won the contest and Mirror Image is the result of our collaboration. I think we both had a blast working on the story and we both know you’ll love it.
Mirror Image release next Tuesday, 4/2 and will be FREE for three days (Tuesday thru Thursday). Don’t miss this unique story.
When Dennis, a loner with a wounded past, discovers he looks exactly like author Joshua Norton he convinces himself that Norton is living a life he doesn’t deserve. Dennis obsesses over Norton’s seemingly perfect life and eventually plots to switch places with the undeserving author. But reality isn’t always what it appears to be and what Dennis finds isn’t exactly what he expected.
THE LAST HUNT . . . April 23rd!
I wrote The Last Hunt a few years ago and recently revised it. Now I’m offering it as an e-story. It will release 4/23. More information will follow as time gets closer.
Every year the men of the Bishop family went to their cabin in Maryland’s Darlington Woods for a few days of hunting and drinking and card playing. But twenty years ago, on a night where the winds whipped and the snow swirled, something dark and horrifying happened. And it was the last hunt for all of them.
