My story, “Get the Door, It’s Dominique,” has taken 1st place in the YA cat­e­gory in the WIN:Shorts Com­pe­ti­tion by Smartwriters.com. Judge Mar­i­lyn Singer wrote, “When was the last time you read a great Girl Vs. Satan yarn? Well, “Get the Door, It’s Dom­inque!” fea­tur­ing a potty-mouthed hero­ine, a demon, and a Cadil­lac as main char­ac­ters, is one! Dominique, come on in!”

I’m most tick­led. Espe­cially because I wrote the story as a warm-up to a novel with the work­ing title of THE LACK, which is about march­ing bands, race rela­tions, iden­tity, school mas­cots, and of course, love.
