March’s Challenge Winner

Last month we asked you to write a ‘drabble’ focusing on precision and brevity. We had an overwhelming response with around forty entries! With such a fantastic response it made it very difficult to judge, after deliberating and carefully considering all entries we eventually agreed on a winner. The winner of the March AuthorHouse challenge is Gloria D. Gonsalvez, with her drabble ‘Sweet Revenge.’  Congratulations Gloria!
