I’m ecstatic to announce that my short story Catching Tigers was selected from 148 entries as one of three winners of the 2018 Scintillating Starts Contest at Writer Advice.
Please follow this link if you’d like to read it: Catching Tigers.
This is the beginning of a longer story, due to be published later this year. I’d love to hear any feedback you may have.
My thanks to Editor, B. Lynn Goodwin and her panel of judges for the time they invested in this great competition. Writer Advice is a wonderful site, full of helpful writing advice, interesting articles, interviews, links to competitions and much more. Definitely worth checking out.
Congratulations Ryan, and yes, you are a star.
