I won a 2022 Quarter 3 WOTF Honorable Mention for my story ‘The Good Winds’ a portal fantasy with an Edmonton Alberta setting. it wasn’t my best result but all HMs are appreciated! I have no idea who will publish it. This story features the faux waterfall / art installation that was on the High Level Bridge and my Bonnie Doon neighborhood of the early 90s.
My fabulous WOTF result Quarter 1 2022! My story ‘The Lady M’ made it into the Top 8! It’s not awarded, nor am I going to the Gala week for the winners, however there is a chance that it makes it into the annual anthology if I get lucky, which would be a huge boon to my creative career.
