I only found out I was a finalist today! Nice news, thanks. How many entries were there?
Hi Sandra,
Sorry you only found out today. You should have received an e-mail from us on June 14th, I believe, the day before we announced. It may have gotten caught up in a SPAM filter, as sometimes happens. We had several hundred entries this time around. Thanks so much for participating!
I've been travelling a lot this year and not so diligent with my emails - let alone my spam box, which does quite often contain the most important emails! My fault, not yours, definitely not. A treat to get the news anyway.
I am trying to get myself back into the groove of writing. It was a great hobby in my younger days but it's not as easy as I was hoping.
