The results are in for the RWA Little Gems contest, the competition to earn a place in our annual short story anthology.
Once again the Little Gems was a hard fought contest with entries requiring a score of at least 92.7% to gain a place in the Anthology. This year we were able to take 15 stories from the 69 entries with a good mix of historical, contemporary and paranormal. Something for everyone. Congratulations to:
First: Jean Versace
Second: Emmeline Lock
Third: Patsy Poppenbeek
