Halloween is almost here, so what better time to rustle up those fun treats and cook up a twisted fairy tale, or two? Hello again, dear friends, it’s week four at the Rodeo and time for Norah Colvin’s contest: Fractured Fairy Tales. Food, naturally, is the prompt. As before all details below, all entries are free with a $25 cash prize for the winner. The contest runs until 11:59pm EST October 31. So you’ve got plenty of time to don your aprons and mix a fine brew for Norah and her esteemed judges. Just watch out for the big bad wolf, especially if he’s called Fred.
And a huge thank you, dear readers, for keeping the Summerhouse ticking over while I write up a storm on my memoir. I’ve got a date with an editor in just over two weeks…It’s really happening this time…yikes!
See you back here next week with the last, but certainly not the least, of the Rodeo contests. Good luck all!

Congratulations, Sherri on meeting with your editor. It’s getting close for you to get the book published. I have published both paperback and Kindle tonight and will be available in 72 hours. My poetry book is basically a poetic memoir and I will promote it as such. I selected the categories of poetry and personal memoir on Amazon.
Will hear some more from you about your book! ❤

Hi Miriam, lovely to read your comment this morning. I’ve just got a post out, my first in a while, with a short update and linking to the last of Carrot Ranch’s contests. I’m working furiously on my memoir to have it where I need it to be, and of course, it can’t be rushed. The paradox of writing! How wonderful, congratulations! If you can send me the link when it’s available, I will look for it. How exciting for you, Miriam! And I will keep you posted this end too! 🙂 ❤
