One of my friends, who is also a Blogger, Writer, and Critique friend.....Donna, OF DONNA'S BOOK PUB...WON.........

1st PLACE IN THE ERMA BOMBECK CONTEST!!

Can you say WOOOO-HOOOOO?!  I am THRILLED for Donna. She's a great writer (obviously) and a great person and I'm proud to call her my friend. AND, I'm extra excited because I am part of the critique group who first heard Donna's winning story!! Go to her blog and read all about it!

  2. Yes, isn't this nice, Becky? Donna is so deserving in the first place but how nice the prize goes to someone we know! Makes us feel like our "family" was the winner doesn't it? Ah, I consider myself sort of family despite being Missouri West!

  5. And now you have a "Brush with Greatness" story for when you appear on David Letterman.

    I'll have to hustle on over to Donna's and read her winning entry.
