To all those who read and voted in the Halloween story contest. Wow! Twenty-seven entries this year and some of them were massive good. I'm happy to be in the company of these authors.
Congratulations to Kin Asdi--The Mirror; Old Grey Duck--Arthur and the Bog Witch; and Switch Blayde--Soulmates.
Of course, we couldn't say anything about our entries during the competition, but "The Burgundy Chamber" is another story I dug up out of my archives and rewrote for entry in this competition. I believe the first draft was dated 1982 but was never published. I had intended to put it in my collection of short stories, To Make a Long Story Short, but the Halloween competition just happened to come up at that time.
So you know, I've not stopped writing and getting stuff together to post. It's just that aroslav has been hogging the keyboard with his NaNoWriMo project, Bob's Memoir: 4000 Years as a Free Demon, and I only stick my head out when I'm not afraid to get it bitten off. Or if I'm hungry. He listens to me then.
Anyway, thanks again for the votes and for reading all our stories!
