FIRST PLACE — OVERALL WINNER

“Absolutely superb—
very strong plot, strong characterization and age-old conflicts all readers will understand. Everything is top notch.”

—Gateway to the
Rest Contest judge
on HIGHLAND DRAGON

"All I can say is
fantastic opening.
I was on the edge
of my seat.
The author captured both tragedy and emotional impact in
just a few pages. The author has obvious knowledge and skill where the craft is concerned. Pacing and balance were perfectly matched, keeping reader interest as the pages went on. The author’s
voice was lyrical and engaging, bringing the story to life.

I have judged the
Golden Heart every
year since I finaled in 1999—both Long and Short historical. I can honestly say in all
that time, I’ve never
had an entry to this caliber and standards.
For the first time in ages, I read a contest entry
a second time for pure pleasure, not to judge. That is probably the
best compliment I can give the author."
