Well, the results of the Aurora Contest are in! My story ‘Smoke and Mirrors‘ was a finalist in two categories (Fantasy and Middle Grade) and won the Middle-Grade category!

To see a complete listing of the categories, finalists, and winners of this contest, check out Realm Makers’ blog post Aurora Contest 2024 Winners.

I’m extraordinarily grateful and have many people to thank for this outcome (see my previous Aurora post for details).

I hope to attend this year’s Realm Maker’s Conference because I’d love to connect with the other Aurora finalists. Great job everyone!
