Laurie Green's Golden Heart finalist manuscript wins the Write Stuff

One of Laurie Green's TWO 2011 Golden Heart finalist manuscripts, The Outer Planets, has won the paranormal category of the Write Stuff contest (Connecticut chapter of RWA).

Congratulations, Laurie!

Love that their contest logo has a little rocket shooting out of the top...

We Have a Buffy Winner!!!!

This came in too late to make that latest Hailing on All Frequency list, but I wanted to get the word out asap. 

Donna S. Frelick WON the TARA Contest Paranormal category with her SFR manuscript, Unchained Memory!!!

*Presents Donna with a shiny new Buffy Award*

Congratulations many times over on an impressive win, Donna!  Woohoo!

CONTEST ALERT: Laurie Green wins the first Buffy!

Laurie Green's SFR novel OUTER PLANETS has just won 1st place in the Lilac City Rochester Writers 1st & 10 contest, making her our first recipient of The Buffy! (Awarded to Brigade members who place first in any contest.)

Also worthy of note: Her entry received all perfect scores from both first-round and second-round judges. AND this was a general fiction contest with no categories, so she was up against all genres.

Nicely done, Laurie! As the founding member of SFR Brigade, it seems only fitting.

We're on a roll, folks!
