For those of you I haven't blabbed it too...if you are local, look for me in the Christmas Eve edition of the Florida Times Union Special Edition - I won second place in their annual Christmas Short Story Contest. I won $200 (which I donated to Nemour's Children's Hospital) and also will have my pic, bio and a illustration for my story. My story, "Katie's Christmas" is about a little girl who asks Santa just for two things, to see her mother who has passed and to have her mom's old favorite doll for Christmas. You read it from there. For those of you not local you will be able to read it at jacksonville.com - click on the Florida Times Union section or at my site at Author's Den - www.authorsden.com on Christmas Day!!
