WIP Wednesday: Winners, Start Your Imaginations

First things first, let's hear it for my October Contest winners:

Grand Prize: Gef Fox

1st Place: Anthony Rapino

2nd Place: K.C. Shaw

Fred, tell them what they've won...

"Grand Prize: You name and supply physical/psychological characteristics for a character in my next book. Here's the teaser: Four friends gather at their twenty year high school reunion to pay respects to a friend who died in high school... Within a week of their meeting, one of them is murdered. I'll leave it there, for now.

1st Place: You supply me with two characters (general types, e.g., plumber--you can name them if you wish), a situation, and a setting, and I write a piece of flash fiction (of at least 500 words) to share with the world.You may even name the piece, if you wish.

2nd Place: I will write a Friday Flash (of at least 100 words) with any title you supply."

As for the Coffin Hop winner, Jennifer Smith was among a handful of entrants who correctly identified Three Dog Night as the band "Monster Shindig" singer Danny Hutton fronted in the '60s/'70s. 

Winners, I'll be in touch soon--if you want to drop me a line at aaron.polson(at)gmail.com first, go ahead.

Then there's this:


Five years ago, one of them never left the house... Now, they're back. Welcome home.
Coming soon.
