I’ve only read the Ann Bruce one but it’s pretty good and makes me interested in other Bruce offerings. Congrats authors.

Brava Short Story Contest Finalists were announced today. Ann Bruce and Annette McCleave were the winners and the entries 
Just to clarify, there are going to be twenty finalists, Ann and Annette being the first two. They’ll be announcing two per week for ten weeks. Then there will a Reader’s Choice winner and a chosen-by-Kate winner. :)
OH!! LOL. I didn’t get that. Thanks for the heads up.
So if you should ever want to keep 300 authors on tenterhooks straight through Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Years, this is an excellent way to do it.
Torture for the holidays. :)
Thanks, Jane. My first contest and I was thrilled to final. :D And if I don’t win, it’s going to be an awesome 10-weeks of free marketing from Kensington.
Congratulations, Ann!
Is this the contest that led to MaryJanice Davidson’s publication with that Under Cover anthology of short stories (back when a short story was a short story and not $25 hard cover novella)?
Thanks, Robin.
Actually, I’m not too familiar with the history of the contest, but a lot of reviewers on Amazon says you’re right.
Let me extend my congratulations too, Ann.
Thanks, Janine!
Are we supposed to be able to read the complete stories? Because I can only find excerpts.
Mary–Only excerpts of 750 words or less were submitted. My understanding is that authors are encouraged to complete the novella in case Kate Duffy asks to see the entire story for possible publication.
