Best Novella

The Betrothal

Best Short Story

The Well

The competition looks fierce in both categories, but I wouldn't have it any other way!

Voting begins July 1 (don't worry I'll remind you) and I would appreciate people reading the stories and then casting a well-deserved vote or two my way.

The Well is a love story, and The Betrothal combines two genres (contemporary and historical) in one sweet romance.
