Hey guys,

I’ve been tracking my fellow winners on the net, and here are a few links to their workshop experiences:

Matthew S Rotundo, 1st place winner, 1st quarter, 2008.

Gary Kloster, 2nd place winner, 1st quarter, 2008.

Gra Linnaea, 3rd place winner, 2nd quarter, 2008

Jordan Lapp, 1st place winner, 3rd quarter 2008.

C.L. Holland, 2nd place winner, 3rd quarter 2008.

And that’s basically what I’ve found so far. If you were in Hollywood with me, but I haven’t found your workshop blog, let me know and I’ll add it above!

I’m very happy to report that a writing buddy of mine, Nicholas Ozment, has had a collection picked up by Cyberwizard Productions.

Says Nick:

The stories of Smoke the Dragon, which I have been working on (off and on) for the past nine years, have found a publisher and a home. This summer the collected stories will be published by Cyberwizard Productions in book form, under the title Knight Terrors: The (Mis)adventures of Smoke the Dragon.

In the meantime, starting February 1 each chapter will appear online at Abandoned Towers Magazine.

I have a brief introduction up now, sharing a bit about where the idea for Smoke came from. If you have a chance, please pop over there, check out the intro, and leave a comment, would you? The publisher really wants to generate some buzz for the book online before it comes out in print, so more comments shows more interest!

Nick is the author of “The Only Difference Between Men and Boys“, which if you remember, got an astonishing 32,000 reads. He’s also one of the editors over at EDF’s sister publication Every Day Poets, a rising magazine in poetry circles.

I, for one cannot wait for this collection. Nick has a unique and humourous voice. You can read the fiction he’s published at EDF here. Believe me, you won’t regret it.
