Yes, we have a winner

First there were 410
Then 404
Then 96
Then 38
Then 9

Now there's 1.

The winner of the Liz Norris Pay It Forward Debut novel contest is finalist #3 C.A. Marshall.

When reached at her home Miss Marshall was unable to form coherent sentences for a moment so her dog took over the interview responsibilities:

Q:  How was the wait time during the finals?
A: RUFF!

Q: What would it be like to get the Love Is Epic tattoo?
A: RUFF!

Q: What do you think it will be like to get your work read by agents at Backspace?
A: RUFF!


Miss Marshall then regained her powers of speech and was glad to accept, and will be able to come to Backspace.

We congratulate her for a wonderful entry, salute all the other entrants, and retire to our private bar for a celebratory drink!
