HONORED TO HAVE MY SCI-FI PIECE RECOGNIZED!
I’m pleased to announce my short story, Unauthorized Settlers, won Third Prize in the Coastal Dunes 2025 Flash Fiction Contest.
The official announcement of contest winners took place at the Coastal Dunes CWC October 4thmeeting during the California Writers Week celebration at the Santa Maria Library. Each contest winner received a Certificate of Achievement.
During the open mike portion of the event, we had the opportunity to read our winning stories. This was a wonderful occasion to share our art with the audience.
Unauthorized Settlers is from the worldbuilding project The Copperbank Compendium: A History Of Blanken 9. This is a fictional historical account of the early days of terraforming the planet Blanken 9 for colonization created for my upcoming sci-fi western novel, Rio Cyborg.
The Compendium is posted as memos, newspaper articles, reports, and personal diaries on Carol’s Substack page, Are You Writing That Down? Join us.
