The Word Cloud

My unpublished novel, “Heart of the City,” has been named one of two finalists in the last round of Dorchester Publishing’s “Fresh Blood” contest.  The grand prize is a publishing contract with Dorchester’s Leisure imprint.  To win this would be my dream come true…but I need to ask for your help.

A panel of judges (including editors and published authors) put my book through to the Top 5, but the winner is chosen by popular vote, so I’m asking for your vote.  It would only take a minute of your time and would help to make my dream come true.

To vote, simply send a blank email to freshblood@chizinepub.com and in the subject header put “Fresh Blood Vote - Heart of the City.”  Voting will run through July 14^th at midnight EST, and they will accept one vote per unique email address. 

 You can find more about the contest at: http://chizine.com/freshblood/.  There you can also read more about the books competing, including the first chapters, cover copy, brief author biographies, as well as the judges’ comments for each round of the finals.

If you’re interested in hearing more about my novel, and my journey through the contest, please visit my blog at: http://writingonthinice.blogspot.com/.

Thank you to those who’ve voted for me in prior rounds and who’ve helped me get this far in this contest.  Your support has meant the world to me.  I appreciate each and every one of your votes.  And if there’s ever anything I can do to reciprocate, please don’t hesitate to ask.
