It doesn't really have a niche as the protagonists are only eighteen (ends with an epilogue years later, but still).<br /><br />=0J.A.

We will have to find time to get together soon. I'm having serious withdrawals.<br /><br />Deidre ~ It's the little things in life that matter. You're so right. <br /><br />Jaime ~ Your story sounds wonderful, as all your stories do. Do you think you'll ever submit it? Thanks for your kind words about my trailer. Hope you get a chance to read it. :)Alishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03344425510934073606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4502645867665779577.post-20784845694038045762009-10-01T14:28:20.001-05:002009-10-01T14:28:20.001-05:00The story closest to my heart is one that I've...The story closest to my heart is one that I've never submitted (it's in a folder on my bookshelf). The Concept of Being is about a teenage girl and young mother that moves to a new town with her family. She's a senior in high school and has never been in love (her pregnancy was the result of an encounter one night at a party that went horribly wrong) until she meets Matthew. He's the quarterback of the football team, popular, smart, and all the things she believes a girl like her will never have. The story is about them, her son, and the would be father that reappears a year later.<br /><br />Again, not submitted or published, but close to my heart.<br /><br />I loved the trailer. The Wooden Nickel is on my TBR list and seeing that reminded me that I have to get it and read!!!<br /><br />Hope you are doing well, October is finally here!<br /><br />JaimeJ.A.

It is a true story about my father when he was a little boy riding his pony and lost in a blizzard. I submitted the story in the spring of 2001 and two weeks later I got the acceptance letter! I stood on the sidewalk outside the mailboxes and cried and cried--tears of joy. I had to wait 3 years for publication but it was worth it.Palmaltashttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15842084844496531165noreply@blogger.com
