I am so glad that you run these contests. I wish I could have had such opportunities when I was growing up. It wouldn’t have taken me until after age 40 to start my writing career!

I’m very excited for this contest!! Does it have to be a spouse that dies for the reason of giving a child up? Or can it be any reason for giving the child up? Also can it be more than one child having to be given up? Thank you for doing this for writers!!

Rewording that one: Say, if I had a bad person and he captured good people, can I make the bad person drink and get drunk so that he doesn’t notice if the good people get out and run away?
