An Inspiring Race


What a race *this* was! Each piece in the Inspiration Challenge received a healthy share of votes, proving something I say over and over: there is an audience for every story. Never be discouraged if something you write doesn't land a home on the first, or second, or 37th try. (I just read that Lemony Snicket's first novel was rejected 37 times!)

The authors with their stories are:

Lover's Eclipse by Angell Brooks
Behind the Blue Door by May Deva
The Alley by Joss Lockwood
Young and Free by Emma Hillman
Partnering by Dorla Moorehouse

We unfortunately have to say goodbye to Ms. Moorehouse. Please drop me a note with your snail mail address at msalisontyler at yahoo dot com. I have parting gifts. The two winners this round are Ms. Brooks (chosen by the poll) and Ms. Hillman (chosen by Lucy Felthouse of Erotica for All).

Both of these stories will be featured on the EFA website shortly.

I'll be hitting the final four authors with a new challenge after the coffee takes effect!

Congrats to you all!
