After the Wind by Jaclyn M. Hawkes
Prize Format: e-book
They say time heals all wounds.
Sometimes it doesn’t.
After seeing her young family killed by a propane tanker explosion, the rest of Kristen’s life seems more like a life sentence. Trying to escape the memories, she finds herself in a remote Idaho resort town where no one knows her story.
Her co-workers think she’s intriguing. Her neighbors think she’s crazy. She thinks she’s hopeless. Then she meets Joe.
Jaclyn M. Hawkes grew up in Utah with 6 sisters, 4 brothers and a large number of pets. She got a bachelor’s degree, had a career, and traveled extensively before settling down to her life’s work of being the mother of four magnificent and sometimes challenging children. She loves shellfish, the out of doors, the youth, and hearing her children laugh.
She and her fine husband, their family, and their sometimes very large pets, now live in a mountain valley in northern Utah, where it smells like heaven and kids still move sprinkler pipe. Jaclyn is the author of 11 novels. You can read more about them at www.jaclynmhawkes.com.

Little Dead Riding Hood by Amie & Bethanie Borst
Prize Format: e-book
When you’re the new kid at school, you know things are going to suck; but when you’re the new kid and a vampire, it bites.
Unlike most kids, Scarlet Small’s problems go far beyond just trying to fit in. She would settle for a normal life, but being a 12-year-old vampire for an entire century is a real pain in the neck. Plus, her appetite for security guards, house pets, and tomato juice is out of control.
At her new school, Scarlet not only has a strange skeleton-girl as a classmate, but a smelly werewolf is intent on revealing her secret. When Scarlet meets Granny—who fills her with cookies, goodies, and treats, and seems to understand her more than anyone—she’s sure things will finally be different. But with a fork-stabbing incident, a cherry pie massacre, and a town full of crazy people, Scarlet’s positive she’ll never live to see another undead day.
