A bit of publishing news: my flash fiction piece, “It’s Fenrir, You Morons” has received an Honourable Mention in the first War of the Words competition. The contest was held in conjunction with this year’s When Words Collide festival, run by the Alexandra Writers Centre Society, in Calgary. The story will appear with the other winners in War of the Words Anthology Volume 1.
If you’re attending When Words Collide (sadly, I am not), which runs Aug 16-18, a celebration of the contest, featuring author readings, will be held at 10 a.m. on Sunday 18, in the Bonavista Ballroom at the Delta Hotel where the festival is being held.
The War of the Words winners are as follows:
1st Place: “Motherhood, Etc.” by Collette Burjack
2nd Place: “Last Evening” by Barbara Darby
3rd Place: “Alan” by Carmen Poon
