Kelly is indexing and linking up contests and stuff that have already happened, Paul.

Harry's Western Short Story Contest is where many of us first experienced the writing of AW member Chris P (http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/member.php?u=36103).

His entry entitled: Awaiting your reply, I remain your servant, Josiah Cranston garnered second place in the contest...

and now...

*drum roll please*

Chris has announced it's publication (http://www.absolutewrite.com/forums/showthread.php?t=249584)!

If you get a chance, pop into that thread and give Chris a pat on the back!! Way to go!
