I got some great news this week. I found out that I’m one of ten finalists in the American Title contest sponsored by Romantic Times Magazine and Dorchester Publishing with my paranormal manuscript, Out of Sight. This is the contest’s fourth year, and it’s a writing competition modeled on American Idol. There are five rounds of online voting, and each time two more contestants are booted by virtue of getting the least amount of votes. The eventual winner’s book will be published by Dorchester. This is exciting because I really love this book, what I’d call a paranormal suspense. Even my husband (aka He Who Does Not Read Fiction) read it and really likes it.

Right now I’m looking forward to “meeting” all the other contestants online and learning more about their stories. I’m sure they’re all wonderful to have made it this far. Goodness knows how many people entered the competition.

Voting on the first round commences Oct. 15, and I would very much appreciate your votes. I’ll post more information about how and when to vote closer to the date.
