And The Third Place Award Goes To . . .



Yes, my essay "Loss Of Contact" won 3rd Place in the CWC Nonfiction Contest for 2020! (CWC = Charlotte Writers' Club)

The contest judge, Charles Israel, Jr. (a writing instructor at Queens University of Charlotte) said the following about 
Loss of Contact:

"This writer captures our loss of friends in an intriguing and novel way--through the symbol of address books.  How do we deal with the passing of time, as friends--and ourselves--move away and indeed, move on?  This essay gives us a subtle, witty, and poignant answer.  And this writer knows how to take care of her reader: she will pause to address us directly, as our friends do in real life."--Charles Israel, Jr.--
