 2024 ended on a good note with, as noted in the previous post, my short screenplay, Summer Darkness winning the Gothamite Monthly Award for Best Short Script.  Enter February 2025 and more new awards. On February 16, 2025, my newest feature length screenplay, The Witch's Descendant received a Quarterfinal placement in the Wiki Screenplay contest.   Then, on February 27, I was notified that The Witch's Descendant was a Finalist in January's TMFF: The Monthly Film Festival.    Finally, also on February 27, the screenwriters web site Coverfly notified me that The Witch's Descendant was was now ranked in the top 39% of discoverable screenplays on their site. I've been working very hard to get a ranking on there and am very honored and happy to have made it.     If you're interested in my fiction books, I've been booking my appearances for 2025. You can see the updated list on the right side of this page.   Carol
