There are a good ten of you that impressed me with either quality, originality, pacing, but I need to keep my mouth zipped for the sake of choosing stories for a Zombie Luv antho.
It was blast to work with the other judges Mari Juniper, Lori Titus, and Jim Bronyaur. Great people, great stories and lots of zombie luv to go around. Thanks for the fun everyone!
