Coming Attractions

Look for these attractions in the coming weeks:

Short Fiction Contest--250 word limit entries to be inspired by a photograph I post. All genres welcome. The prizes are:
--1st Place, $25 Amazon gift certificate + a signed 8x10 photo from the gallery*
--2nd Place, $10 Amazon gift certificate + signed photo
--3rd Place (if I get at least 10 entries), signed photo

(*I know someone's thinking, hey, big deal, I'll just print one off the blog. Actually, to be a responsible blogger, I reduce the resolution of the photos by 70% to reduce file size. Only I have the full resolution pictures.)

Flashlight Tag--Serial fiction (Horror). A boy is stalked by a terrifying old woman, but only when his flashlight is turned on.

The Field--Serial fiction (Mainstream/crime). A man is obsessed with the possibility of bodies buried in an abandoned industrial field.

Stayed tuned, and sharpen those pencils for the contest!!

Anybody got an extra pencil? :)

Sounds like fun, Jason. Will you be posting all of the entries so we can read them?
Looking forward to Flashlight Tag and The Field. :)

Terri, I'd just like to finish up "Diamond Shoals," then we'll get the show on the road!

Tanya, I hope it's fun!

BeadinggalinMS, sure you don't want to give it a go? If not, just don't poke us with that pencil! :)

Jeff, yes, I will handle it like Kelly. All entries will be posted with an index. :)
