Yay, Travis!

Nathan Bransford, Literary Agent Insane Extraordinaire, occasionally hosts contests on his blog. These tend to draw massive numbers of entries, and the First Paragraphs contest Nathan ran this past week was no exception. Over 2,600 entries!

With competition like that, you can imagine how delighted I was to see blogger-buddy, Travis Erwin, has been chosen as one of the ten finalists!

Please head over to the voting post, read the finalists' entries (which are the first paragraphs of a novel or memoir) and vote for your favourite in the comments.

Congratulations, Travis! May this lead to big things for you and your memoir! (And when you get it published, I am definitely buying a copy. :-) )

UPDATE: Squee! Travis WON! Congratulations, Travis Erwin!

I loved his entry. The voice is so much fun. And Nathan is amazing, isn't he?

Thanks for the shout out and kind words. Making the finals truly has lifted my writing spirits.

Everyone: I agree Travis deserves this; I would have been tempted to vote for a blogger-buddy anyway, but I really did like his entry best!
