I got a phone call from the contest administrator today, letting me know that “Betrayer of Trees” is the second-place winner for the quarter. That means a prize of $750, the opportunity to be published in their 2005 anthology, and the chance to attend the awards ceremony in 2005.
Needless to say, I’m very excited about this. [If it’s needless to say, why did you say it? -ed.]
UPDATE: Welcome, Times & Seasons readers. Feel free to look around. Because of the lag time between selling stories and having them actually appear in print, none of my stories are in print yet. But you can see some fragments of various stories here.
