Who Won? What’s New? What’s Next?

Posted in Contests,Cool Creative News!,Getting Published by Rachel on the September 8th, 2009

First up, let’s announce the winner of the Beyond Centauri July 2009 Seventh Anniversary Blog Contest. There were seven entrants by midnight last night. I don’t trust those Random Number Generators for some reason, so names were written on uniform pieces of paper, which were folded up, tossed into a hat, shaken around and the resulting winner was…. LISA!  Lisa was an entrant from Tribe.net.

(Now, normally, there would be a picture here of that particular issue of Beyond Centauri, but the people at WordPress have seen fit to change everything and now suddenly, none of my picture files will upload, or they only have a broken image. So, just imagine a picture of the July 2009 issue here.)

Next up, my next story, The Crow King, is out now in the September 2009 issue of Aoife’s Kiss!  Again, time for a BLOG CONTEST! So, if anyone is interested in receiving a signed copy of this issue, leave a comment on this blog (this one here) by midnight, September 30, 2009.

And that’s it for now, or until I figure out why pictures, etc., are not uploading. Maybe it’s just that Mercury is in retrograde.

For now go here and watch this video. This has nothing to do with writing, but everything to do with the health care debate, which is a particular issue with me: Can\’t Wait…

    I don’t do those number generators either, so i wrote names on a piece of paper and dropped them in a hat too.

    Wonderful news on the front!

    I think the hat is more fun!

    [...] me!  I had a blog contest for the September 2009 issue of Aoife’s Kiss that ended on September 30 and then never drew names! My head has been in the clouds lately. [...]
