I won the first Black Orchid for my story "e;Horse Pit,"e; and I haven't dared enter since-I try to read all the winners, and they keep getting better and better. These days I probably wouldn't stand a chance!) Barb Goffman also has an original, "e;It's Not Tennis"e; by Shannon Taft, another good one.
