Top Four!

Wow:


Uh. Yeah. Am most definitely still in shock :)

Thank you SO much everyone who voted for me, and has supported me so far in this competition. It means the world to me.

And big commiserations to the other six. I thought all the other nine entries were of an incredibly high standard, and had no idea who would make the Top 4. It must have been so so close. 

A special thank you to Rachael Johns, who called me with the fabulous news. I was at a family dinner so was forced to suspend my obsessive email/New Voices web site checking frenzy. Was a lovely way to find out!

Now, off to get this pivotal moment sorted!

  4. Yay Leah! I'm excited for you so I can only IMAGINE how you are feeling! Rach was sure fast off the mark, I think I'd checked it only minutes before she did and saw nothing!

    So stoked, well done you!

  11. Just wanted to stop by and say that I voted for you in the last 2 rounds and that yours was the only story that made me read all the way to the end of chapter 2. I definitely want to read this when it gets published.
