And now… the winner of June’s Writing Contest is…

Caitlin!

Here’s her winning entry.

“Bitch.” Hugh spat the word and it landed like acid against Catherine’s heart. Eyes fully black, any humanity he’d kept after 200 years of un-death drowning, he circled her.

“Hugh,” Catherine said. “Calm down. All I said was we may need to take some time, be apart.”

“I left for you,” he said, and his accent had returned fully, rich tones of Jane Austen novels, the Ton, dancing the minuet. “For you, I left behind everything the Coven afforded me. For you, I risk my life by the day. I chose to be with a Death-Stalker, a human, and see how I am rewarded.”

Human stung harder than bitch, but Hugh closed distance between them and Catherine forced herself into action. “Hugh…please don’t…” His snarl covered her voice.

He lunged, teeth growing to bone-needles, and she struck with the silver strapped at her wrist, tears forming. Hugh didn’t ash. He just stilled, fell.

Catherine sank next to him, hand on the silver in his mummified heart. Hugh stared up at her emptily, not dead but not her Hugh. Just a Coven vampire, again. “All I said was I needed time,” Catherine whispered. “Surely, Hugh…the one thing we have is time.”

Caitlin, you get a $50 gift certificate to Amazon! Woo-hoo. Email me your info and we’ll get you all squared out. Congratulations!!

(wow… two C(K)aitlins… that’s so weird)

Tune in next July for the first of the month contest and oh, next week, we’ll have Colleen Gleason, the author of the Rest Falls Away and Rises the Night as our guest author! Come on down, there’ll be some cool prizes too!

    Me three. But it is fun (and nerve-wracking) trying.

    And it does have rewards other than the kind that come with Ulysses S. Grant attached. I’m working on a second short story that I originally started as an entry for this monthly contest. Thanks for another creative jump-start, Bam.

    Hee, I just checked back (end of the school year, finally have time to breathe) and I’m so flattered I was even finalized. I wrote that in an Ambien-induced haze. Which is always fun. The other entries were so much better — good show, y’all.

    By the way, Caitlin’s book NIGHT LIFE is coming out in March 2008 from SMP. Urban fantasy at its finest…
