Last week, COTT posted a “Flash Clash” in which readers had just 2 days to cast their votes between two 100-word excerpts. It was a fast one! But not so fast that voters didn’t have time for their say.
To add to the tension, the winner took the clash by a margin of one vote. That’s right. ONE vote difference. Both excerpts were so good, readers were split almost exactly down the middle. I love clashes that are this close!

The winner of our Flash Clash First Hundred is…
Rebecca Carey Lyle’s Winds of Wyoming.
CONGRATULATIONS, BECKY!!
Winds of Wyoming clashed against Tom Blubaugh’s Night of the Cossack. It was a pleasure getting to know both authors during this fun, super-speedy clash. We wish many blessings on their writing paths!
Here’s what readers had to say about both books:
*Great excerpts…both caught my interest immediately!
*Wow – two really great flashes that sound like amazing stories! Love it!
*Keep writing and don’t give up!
*Both excerpts were great, especially given the short time to convey what was happening in the story. Keep up the good work!
COTT is taking a spring break starting immediately. We will begin clashing again on April 2, 2012 when hostess Gail Pallotta brings us a brand new clash–Comparable Covers!
