Ok, off to enjoy my celebratory bowl of chocolate pudding and to get my butt in the chair and hands on keyboard (BICHOK). As it was pointed out to me, now I need to get this puppy finished, polished and submitted.
I’m doing the happy dance right now y’all. Just got word this morning that I finaled in the Drive ‘Em Wilde contest sponsored by Savvy Authors.

So now my entry goes to the final judge, Angela James with Carina Press (woot!), for a final judging. Ms. James will then pick the overall category winner.
The official notification is here. WOOT WOOT!!!
