Looking Back and Moving Forward: My Journey with the Thomas Dabney Mabry Writing Contest

Last year, I was honored to place in the Top 10 finalists for the Thomas Dabney Mabry Creative Writing Contest at the Clarksville Writers Conference with my short story, My Father’s Castle. The story is close to my heart, written shortly after my father’s passing, and it means so much to me that it resonated with others.

My Fathers Castle (Audio Version)

If you’re curious, you can read My Father’s Castle here. It explores themes of love, memory, and legacy, all inspired by personal experiences.


This year, I’m excited to be submitting another story to the contest. While I can’t share anything about it yet, I hope it connects with readers as much as last year’s did. Writing is always a journey, and I’m grateful for the opportunity to participate again.


Thank you to the Clarksville Writers Conference for encouraging creativity and providing a platform for writers to share their work. Wish me luck for this year’s submission!
