The winner is...

Now that the final episode has gone to air (March 25), it's official: my novella "Juggernaut" was selected as the winner of the first reality-tv version of the 3-Day Novel Contest, broadcast on BookTelevision and CLT nationally and on ACCESS Network in Alberta.

This comes on the heels of the same work having made the shortlist for the print version, the International 3-Day Novel contest.

There are many people to thank: producer Tate Young, Chapter's manager Rachel Sentes, the amazing team at BookTelevision/CHUM, Kyla Sentes (who catered the 3-Day Novel weekend and managed to make me delicious meals without any of my prohibited incredients: no corn, rye, oats, wheat, barley or alcohol).

The other eleven finalists wrote some amazing things during the weekend, and they should be proud of their accomplishments. Mar'ce Merrell, Wayne Arthurson, Ron Yamauchi, Felicia Pacentrilli, the indomitable Catherine Ford, Laura Kjolby, Tyler Morency, Mark John Hiemstra, Ali Riley, Darren Zenko and Jill Battson.

For the next little while, excerpts from all our novels will continue to be on the website at www.booktelevision.com
