Our contest having concluded, it is time now to select a winner for “High Heeled Sneakers.” In a departure of previous manners of judgment, this time ANYBODY can place a vote who read the entries.  No restrictions.  Even staff are eligible to win this one!  AND you get three votes.  Two can be for your favorite, and one for your second favorite.  The criteria is easy:  pick the one that left you with the best feeling, the one that lingered, and maybe left a few goosebumps.  I will tally the votes by Wednesday, announce the winner on Friday, Jan 11th, and send off the trophy before I depart for Prague.

We’re not in Kansas anymore

Also pleased to announce that after delays in getting our order the T-shirts from our previous contest have arrived.  If you were a participant in our contest “One-of-a-Kindness” make sure you have sent me your physical address and T-shirt size to thorn@awordwithyoupress.com asap so I can get them out to you before I leave for Prague and my fairy-tale princess who lives in Cesky Krumlov, my ultimate destination.

Thornton Sully

Thornton Sully has Jack-Londoned his way across the globe sleeping with whatever country would have him, and picking up stray stories along the way. A litter of dog-eared passports that have taken up residence in his sock drawer are a constant temptation, but, as the founder in 2009 of A Word with You Press, dedicated to helping you tell your story persuasively and with passion, it’s not likely he will stray too far from the towers that are A Word with You Press, now located in the Bohemian village of Ceske Budejovice in the Czech Republic, except, perhaps, for an occasional swim in the Aegean. Authors who have sought his advice have won major awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the Isabel Allende Miraposa Award for new fiction, and the Best Poetry Award from San Diego Writers' Awards. "I arise in the morning torn between a desire to improve the world and a desire to enjoy the world. This makes it hard to plan the day." Thornton Sully, plagiarizing E.B. White

    This contest was a delight to enter and a bigger one to read!! I want to thank the staff that have been on-board, who have really pitched in with the production end of the site. I have noticed a sweet change of comments being posted, which, in my opinion got a little out of hand on the last contest!! I am a big fan of our Editior-In-Chief, Mr Sully, and I am delighted to see his vision to strengthen and encourage us writers being manifested….
    Happy Trails to all, from Jerusalem.
