The Contest has Started

 The contest is off to a great start.  About 20 3rd grade student have found their book title and have handed their entries to me. After this week I will be announcing the top 7 stories for my new book. I've looked over a few and have come up with some very haunting plots for thes storie.

This edition of Terror Tale will host 6 or 7 kids who are friends an wander themselves into a mysterious shop that they've never seen before. As they explore the store, they each find a piece of old treasure connected to a strange legend. 

Each 3rd grader will star in their story I've written. The titles each include a legend as each one will be titled: The Legend of the - - based on their initials of thei

the contest from last year

r name. I will write these 3rd graders into the story and have the story published to their school. Very exciting.

Now, it's sad to say not all these kids will be written in the new book I'm writing. But, this gives them a chance to write their own edition of the story . Although mine will be horror fiction, it'll be good to see what kind of story you can make about "The Old Alien" or "The Strange With" (Not saying those are contestants) but, by writing their own story based on their title, it gives the kids a chance to grow up knowing they've been in the spotlight.
