Hello faithful readers, writers and authors! This beautiful August day brings you an overdue post about some very talented people. We started a contest many moons ago, and we honestly don’t know exactly when it happened. It was a first line contest on Twitter (@SOOPROCKS) and we had many wonderful entries. Despite the time lapse, we have finally identified the winners and distributed prizes.
The competition was stiff and the prizes were exciting.

4th place – Choice of one book and a Silver Marketing Package subscription for 3 months ($75 Value)
