  2. Just want to thank Novel Journey for having a part in getting me to 2nd place in the Contemporary category of the Genesis. Many moons ago Undiscovered was featured on the NJ critique!

  4. Congratulations to ALL of the winners and those who placed. I, too, said an extra woohoo for Christina Berry who is an encourager to so many, and writes such solid stories.

    May the blessings flow to all, in Spirit and in Truth, all to the glory of God.
