Serial Thriller
Chapter Seven |
Synopsis:
|
The Serial Thriller is a really cool contest put on by the Vancouver
Province
newspaper. Author
Daniel Kalla writes
the first and last chapter of a story while aspiring authors submit the
chapters in between. For
the first
Serial Thriller contest, my submissions made the short list twice. It was heartbreaking to
get so close. When
the Province ran the second Serial
Thriller contest, my entry won for week Seven and appeared in the
newspaper,
the first time I ever saw my name in print! |
