I had to cross-post this blog from my On-the-Write-Track blog. It's definitely an announcement I want to share with my family and friends!
After several months of waiting, results were announced Friday for the FaithWriters first Page Turner Contest. Each year, the contest will alternate between fiction and non-fiction. This first year, the focus was on fiction. FaithWriters 500 members were invited to submit the first page of their manuscript, along with a synopsis of the entire projected novel.There was one winner (Yay, JC!) who received an $800 cash prize, free editing, publicity, the works!
In addition to the Grand Prize winner, two runners up were selected. And - WOO-HOO!!! - I was one of them! The first chapter of my WIP, Mind Over Madi, received a Highly Commended award. For me, this is yet another indication that I need to get that novel finished!
I will receive half-price editing from Finesse Editing Service, as well as a special award plaque.
I'll try to post the press release as soon as it becomes available.

Hi Lynda,
We haven't met, but I want to congratulate you on your award, way cool!! I agree, get the novel finished, sounds like good things are yet to come.
I'm the author of The Other Daughter, a book drawing you entered on Pam Meyer's blog recently. I'm sorry you didn't win, but I wanted to personally thank you for your interest. The book is available on Amazon, CBD and at your local book store, should you want to pick up a copy. The first 6 pages are available to read as an excerpt on www.amazon.com and CBD (www.christianbook.com) as well.
Merry Christmas and thank you again, Miralee
