Yes :D - I have won in a writing contest but I'll know more details tomorrow when the results of this contest get announced and published online :) All the stories the participants have entered, will get published in a book :D My story is about a man who made a deal with the protective spirit of bookstores - a very capricious and malicious lady - who told him he's going to live in the world from the Lord of the Rings for the whole rest of his life... but it turned out it was going to be for the rest of eternity instead... and now the perspective of living in the world from Tolkien's books wasn't that pleasant any more for this unfortunate man :P :roll:

One is a ghost story about siblings who got murdered but don't know they are dead (I dreamt the plot of this book in one single dream, imagine that :D ) and the other one is about a girl who died and landed in the realm of the dead - I think it is going to be the first part of the whole series :)
