A few months ago, I entered Short Fiction Break’s Fall Writing Contest. My intent was to give myself extra motivation to finish the story I was working on. To my delight, my story was given an honorable mention. You can read No Cause for Alarm here. If you’ve been following my work, you may recognize the names of some of the people talked about. And one or more of these characters will show up in the final book of the Royal Mages series.
