The Kiss of Death on-line chapter of the RWA met for their annual Death  by Chocolate event in San Antonio during the Nationals. Chocolate, laughter and lots of hugging. It was a great event. The chocolate was divine and I don’t regret a bite. Waiting to hear the results of the unpublished Daphne du Maurier contest gave me the jitters, but that’s all part of the writing life.
I didn’t place this year. I received an honorable mention and (drum roll) a request for a full manuscript from the agent who judged my category. Exciting times.
