My manuscript won First Place in the 2009 Golden Gateway writing contest, sponsored by From The Heart Romance Writers! I am, to say the least, thrilled. The first fifty pages and synopses were judged. September 1st I found out I was a finalist, and last night I found out I won first place. The final judge editor requested to read the full manuscript!! I’ve got it finished and ready to send out, so as soon as the Emerald City Writers’ Conference this weekend is done I’ll print it and send it off. Wish me luck!
HEARTS OF DARKNESS is a completed 101,000 word, apocalyptic paranormal romance set in a grisly Seattle where betrayal will unleash the demons of hell and only love can save the world from annihilation.

WHAT?!?!? SO EXCITING! Congratulations, Ciara. You totally deserve this because (1) you’re awesome, and (2) your writing is FABULOUS. We’ve always known this, of course, but it’s lovely to have it recognized! You’re a superstar, and you always have been. This is just further evidence.
