A Fun Bit o’ News

Just a quick note to let my faithful followers know that I won a very special award this week! The Oklahoma Romance Writer’s Guild saw fit to bestow upon me first prize in their 2024 short story competition, along with a very pretty crystal trophy ornament to grace my workspace.

For your infinite amusement, I have linked the winning story–about an awkward octopus aquarist and her handsome shark-keeper coworker who set out to solve a mystery involving disappearing fish–on my “short stories” page. OR, to make things easier, you can click HERE to find it! I hope you love it.

Don’t squeeze the Charmin,

J.W. Rose
