Contest Wins

Bobbie O’Keefe has won, placed, or received honorable mention in six different contests with three different novels.

Second Thoughts is her first published book, and in 2007 it was included in the "other commendable manuscripts" list at the Florida First Coast Writers’ Festival contest.

Texas Moon took third place at the same FFCWF in 2006, and under an alternate title, Lone Tree, it won the Nola Susannah in 2007. (California girl messes with Texas.) In the same year, it placed second with the WinterRose contest at the Yellow Rose RWA. At the Colorado Romance Writers Heart of the Rockies contest in 2007, it shared Honorable Mention along with another novel of hers.

The House on Copper Street is a traditional romance, written for the series market. (How far will Brady McKenzie go to prevent the sale of the house on Copper Street? His boss, Sharon Snow, is somewhat stunned when she discovers the answer.) It won second place in 2005 at the Ticket to Write contest with the Red River Romance Writers. And in 2007 it received Honorable Mention at the same CRW Heart of the Rockies, along with the novel mentioned above.

She also has a novel of romantic suspense, which is her favorite, entitled Family Skeletons. (Picture the ocean, beach and a cliff. At the bottom of the bluff a skeletal hand is exposed, drawing attention to its owner's sandy grave.)
