A Nervous Wreck!
What do you call an author waiting for The Big Announcement?
Same thing!
According to Write Integrity Press's website, they will be announcing winners of the Books of Hope contest at the end of next week. The end of this week is my birthday, and you know, I had kind of hoped (ha ha!) that they might make the announcement by then, but the week after is good too.
I should back up, shouldn't I?
Write Integrity Press is a small-press Christian publisher. They've got a couple of award winners on their list, including Jennifer Fromke's A Familiar Shore. The Books of Hope Contest sought submissions for three-book series with the running theme of hope. First prize is a cash reward and a three book contract. There are a handful of contracts at stake though, and my eye is on one of those. I wouldn't mind winning first prize of course, but the ispy writers field is pretty talented, so I know competition is stiff. If I have the privileged of being offered a contract I will be thrilled.
In the mean time, to take my mind off of my excited nerves, I am working on a little romantic piece for the other contest mentioned on the blog I linked to. I know. I'm kind of a contest junky.
Speaking of being a contest junky, the same book also made the semi-finals for The Phoenix Rattler Contest, winners to be announced soon.
I'll announce everything, as soon as I know at TraciHilton.com
Until then!
