I have taken a little break from working on my novels to prepare some entries in the regional writer's conference's creative writing contests. I don't know whether I was needing some reinforcement for my ego as an author, or just had some inner thoughts that my muse was urging me to put into print. Whatever the reason, I did some creative writing this spring, in the forms of poetry, short stories and flash ficiton. Happily, I was rewarded at both conferences, pitted against some well-renowned and accomplished authors.

May 2, 2009- Oklahoma Writer's Federation, Inc. Conference in Norman, OK.-
Unrhymed poem "For The Birds",4th HM

June 5 & 6, 2009-Arkansas Writer's Conference in Little Rock, AR.-
Horror Story "A Hint of Gardenias", 3rd Place (cash award)
Lyric Poem "Ode To A Cybermuse", 1st HM
True Story "No Place Like Home", 2nd HM
Humorous Prose "A-one, Two, Three", 3rd HM
