thanks for posting this, Michelle. I copied the link here for the North East ACFW loop, since we were just talking about who finalled. Our own Debra Marvin is on the list, as well as one of my dear critters, Tina Pinson. Lots of talent here!
Thanks, again
Kathy
Congratulations to all the finalists!
I'm thrilled to be a finalist! Thanks for this contest. Any opportunity for advancement toward publication is a blessing. :-)
You know I try to never 'sit by the phone' and wait for these contest results because, invariably, they tend to be later than expected.
This time, I definitely was waiting for that call. What a blessing to hear from Sandra Lee Smith on Christmas Eve. I figured by then, if I didn't hear, I wasn't going to.
Thanks Kathleen from the NE'ers. And Everyone it seems knows of Tina Pinson!
Thanks Michelle!
