Good news! Some of you know that I’ve written a fantasy novel called The Jack of Souls and have entered it in contests to refine and have fun with it before publishing.

This week I learned it’s a finalist in the Speculative Fiction category of the Pacific Northwest Writers Association’s writing contest!

I’m very grateful to make it this far, and it feels especially good because I didn’t make the cut last time I entered, six years ago. Winners are chosen by professional agents and editors in the field and are announced at a dinner on July 17.

In case you’re interested, here’s the link:   http://www.pnwa.org/?page=2014finalists

Go, JOS!
