We have a winner!
My apologies for the uber-short post but
I‘m at ALA and I’m kinda short on time.
Let it be known that this was a tough
contest to judge. MacNish, I loved your haiku a lot and I loved yours, too,
Valerie. But in the end there was a clear winner. Mr. Stephenson, thank you for
the great piece about your puppy.
My parents claim I repeatedly threw my puppy in the toilet when
I was a toddler. The puppy was stuffed, mind you, so don’t think I was a
serial-killer-in-the-making. I was two. I have no recollection of sneaking away
from my parents, stuffed puppy clutched in my chubby hand, ambling toward the
bathroom. All I have as evidence is the tattered toy itself with its frayed
brown fur and half-torn tongue. Larger than my adult fist, it was unflushable.
I wonder what was.
I’ve written to you about choosing
one of the prizes listed and once I get back from Anaheim, I will post whatever
you choose to you!
Thank you to ALL entrants. You know,
contests that require effort and might end up being a bit of craic (that’s
Irish for fun) get fewer and fewer entries these days, so if you entered,
you’re pretty much a star player in my eyes. I hope you’ll come around next
time, when the prize will be an ARC of ASK THE PASSENGERS.
Up next, the ALA post. Great pictures.

I SO want an ARC of Ask the Passengers! I will do anything within my power to win the next contest - maybe even follow the rules! Congrats, Mr. Stephenson!!
My entry was so dumb, but I put one up anyway, for exactly the reason you're talking about.
And I :think: Kristen may have something for me, but I don't know yet. I'm hoping!
Yay Jason. I'm so glad he won. He is one of my Oklahoma Writing Project buddies and a great teacher to boot!
