I am reviewing for





I see that this was a Writer's Cramp entry, yet I see no word count. It is mandatory for some contests, and it is good practice to do so for all contest entries. The last thing you need is to spend ages writing only to be disqualified on a technicality.

I like that this is written in the style of a journal entry. It gives a first person POV and opens up the possibility of further stories from Mary Brownstone. I too would be frustrated if all I got to do was type up other people's writing.

Not sure escaped cattle are headline news. But maybe for a small local paper it is.

My review has been submitted for consideration in "Good Deeds Get CASH!" .
