Book giveaway, anthologies, contests & more

I'm giving away three copies of Remain In Light at Goodreads. You'll notice the widget in the sidebar of this blog where you can hit the "Enter To Win" button. If you haven't read the novel, this is a great opportunity to potentially get the trade paperback for free. And if you aren't on Goodreads, I highly recommend it. The site is great for interacting with fellow readers and authors.

Janet Lane Walters interviewed me for her Eclectic Writer blog. You can read the Q&A at this link. 

My contributor copy of A Face to Meet the Faces persona anthology arrived in the mail this week. Bravo to editors Oliver de la Paz and Stacey Lynn Brown for putting this poetry collection together. I'm thrilled to be included. You can order a copy at this link and be sure to follow the anthology's Facebook page for information on upcoming readings by the contributors. I'm hosting one in Atlanta this spring.

If you're a short story writer, you might want to enter the Bevel Summers Prize for Short-Short Fiction. The winner receives $500 for a story of 1,000 words or less. Entries will be accepted from March 1 - 31 and the winning story will be published in Shenandoah, the literary magazine for Washington and Lee University. There is no entry fee (my favorite kind of contest!), and entrants can submit up to three previously unpublished stories for consideration. To see full details, visit this link.

I'm not going to AWP. I'll be writing instead.
