It has also been short listed for the cash prizes.

A big congratulations here...I think that's rather an accomplishment...

I think your link don't work btw...you should probably get one of the mods to fix it...

Oh wait...never mind...it should work now...

Thanks for you kind words Rascal.. The contest just closed, so I am assuming they will let the winners know soon.

Alan yes that is the contest. Thanks for fixing the broken link and your kind words.

Thought I would add an update, as I have reread the letter.
The first time, I was so stoked that It had been short listed and going to be included, I skimmed the rest.

The publication will be called Island Wonders, and is scheduled to be published in January 2013.
Prizewinners will be notified after the books are published.

Yeah, I just got the same letter...if I want to buy the book, it's $39.95...and if I want my bio included, it's an additional $19.95...I just haven't figured out what poem of mine is to be included as I don't see that mentioned...

This reminds me of the book Sharon and I were included in...but, I'll get to that later...I really should read through the whole letter...but, it's a good thing...

Oh, I see...it's my poem Harmony...it says it up top somewhere...same book title as yours...
