Great Contest News, and All Kinds of Free Reading!

February 6, 2020 By Kari Kilgore

The Spider Who Ate the Elephant cover

This year started out fast and busy around here, and I have all kinds of fun things to share!

The first goes back to last year, when I entered my very short story “The Spider Who Ate the Elephant” into the Golden Nib Contest for The Virginia Writers Club. My home group The Appalachian Authors Guild surprised me by picking it as their winning entry. Then I was even more pleasantly surprised when it took second place in fiction statewide!
