I'm pleased to announce the 2010 Strongest Start Novel Finalists. They are:


Science Fiction, Fantasy, and Horror

- The Temple of Huo Shan by a._p. hubbard

Just an observation.  There is no working link for "a._p. hubbard".  And no other listing for any other name under "hubbard"  The book is there, but the author is not.

Tomorrow is July 30th.  The winners should be announced tomorrow, or soon after.  Good luck to everyone!  Keep writing.

Hi Guys,
Thanks for trying to check my profile. Yeah, I don't have one. Don't know why, exactly. A glitch in the system, I guess. If you do a search from the splash on "a._p. hubbard" all my stuff will come up.

If anyone's profile doesn't show up, I just assume they're "ghost writers" lol. Take care. Vern

Good job, finalists!  Kydd, glad to see you made it.  Good luck to all!

Don't you mean 2011?

Thanks, Ceridwen, you're very kind to say so,

But this is last year's list.

I wonder how it got reanimated today?  Zombies...what can you do? Whahahahaha.

Congratulations to all the finalists! Good luck!

This is last year's list. I didn't realize it until it occurred to me I didn't recognize any of the titles. lol. HOPEFULLY this year's finalists will be announced soon!

When will this year's finalists be announced?

Talk about a great summer reading list. Congrats and good luck to all.

I think one of the contest pages might have mentioned the finalist being announced July 31, 2011.

I know this is last years list, but it would be great if the named novels were live links to the work itself. There a some that sound interesting.

Tammy, I might be able to help you. "The Poppy Field" is still being workshopped on here. The author, The Coffee Lady, has changed its title to "The Missionary's Wife." (I highly recommend this one.) "Priscilla the Great" was last year's winner, so it's been disabled on the site and is available for purchase on Amazon (and elsewhere, I'm assuming.) "The Dark Angel" is still up here, too. I'm not familiar with the other titles so I have no suggestions there, but often works are disabled on here when they're published/going to be published. (Copyright stuff and all that.)

Can't wait to find out this year's finalists!

It's too bad Sol can't change the thread title to Strongest Start Finalists 2010.  I think it's really confusing people here.

The first post in the thread identifies it as 2010. The thread was dormant for almost a year until brought back up several days ago. Perhaps threads which are inactive for a specified time should go to a special oldies but goodies section or have an alert which signals it is an old thread not a current one just in case someone didn't realize before popping it back to the forefront and people start deja vu all over again, lol. Probably asking too much. Take care. Vern
