It's In The Mail

We've been getting a lot of visits lately from people who Google looking for information on the Daphne du Maurier contest, sponsored by RWA's Kiss of Death chapter, so I thought I'd take this time to say...

GET THAT ENTRY IN THE MAIL!

It has to arrive at the appropriate contest coordinator's address by 3/15, which is Saturday. That doesn't leave you a lot of time. So if you're planning on entering, it's time to print out all the pertinent stuff and shove it in an envelope.

By the by, for the SASE, you should probably use a Priority Mail flat rate envelope, which requires $4.60 in postage. (We should be getting the entries back before the rates go up on May 12.)

My entry went in the mail this morning...keep your fingers crossed for me. Or, actually, keep your toes crossed. It's too hard to type with crossed fingers.

Perhaps a win will be your true birthday present!

Luck, and lots of it, to ye.

Good luck, Laura! I didn't get my entry finished in time, so I'll be rooting for you.

Thanks, guys!

And Elaine...I didn't meet my goal, myself. I had intended to have the book roughed so I could submit an honest synopsis, but I didn't finish it. So I wrote *a* synopsis, but it may vary somewhat from what happens in the story when I get the whole thing drafted.

You do what you gotta do, right?
