Hey, guys! If you know me through this site (and aren't clueless as to who I am), please go here and rate the first chapter of my novel:

http://www.gather.com/viewArticle.jsp?articleId=281474976931386

It's for a contest at Gather.com. Yes, you have to register at the site to vote (sorry!), and please do not try to rate it more than once. That would disqualify me!

The deadline to vote on my entry is tomorrow, Mar. 28, so please hurry if you'd like to read it!

I entered it on a whim, but am having fun with it. Hope you'd like to join me (assuming you know me!).

I'll come back tomorrow (when I'm not tipsy) and read it.

I'm sure it's grand.

Oops, Toose, too late. The deadline was Wednesday. Sorry! Thanks for the thoughts, though. :)

I was obviously reading impaired as well.

Bugger. I didn't see this 'til now and the link is showing up as unavailable.

Oops… forgot to check back in here… I actually got to read the chapter (which was excellent) but missed the deadline to rate it… sorry. Would love to be able to finish it one day so let me know when it hits the book stores… :)

Well, it turns out there were over 2500 entries (they were anticipating about 200), and they only chose 20 to move on to the second round. Statistically I didn't stand a chance. Especially since I keep using what is essentially a first draft to enter these contests!

However, I move forward. I'm finishing up a murder mystery I started in November, and that'll be entered in a different contest in October. That'll keep me busy for a while.

Thanks anyway, gang!
