TRACKS Makes Round Two!

Tracks, a novel in stories, has move ahead to round two of what has been called, in a New York Times article, the “American Idol” for writers. The winning entry will be published by Simon and Schuster.

Out of more than 2,600 entries, readers and judges selected 20 semi-finalists. Chapter one of TRACKS was one of them!

These semi-finalists have risen above what some are calling “America’s slush pile.”

But the contest isn’t over yet. Between now and April 25, readers from around the world will read, rate, and comment on the second chapters of these 20 entries. Ten of the semi-finalists will move on to the final round.

Since TRACKS is a novel in stories, you can read chapter two even if you haven’t read the first chapter. Each story in TRACKS stands alone, but they connect with other stories to form a larger narrative.

Read and rate chapter two, “A Good Beer Needs a Good Stein,” now! Your support is sincerely appreciated.

Here is the link to chapter two of TRACKS. Enjoy the ride!
