What is the ultimate prize for a struggling writer? A contract with a big New York publisher.

The traditional route to publication involves a long series of submissions to agents and editors then countless rejection slips. But physicist turned romance writer, Dr. Marie-Claude Bourque, is taking an unusual path.

After seven months participating in a grueling American-Idol type writing competition, and with her “Twilight for Adult” type novel, ANCIENT WHISPERS, a tale of love and magic inspired by the poem Evangeline by Henry Longfellow, Dr. Bourque is now one vote away from the big prize. Winning this contest sponsored by the Romantic Times Book Reviews magazine will lead straight to a publishing contract with Dorchester Publishing, the oldest independent mass market publisher in the United States.

With her many fans from all over the world, from Japan, Australia, France and to US camps in Afghanistan, and using all her life-long acquired skills setting up internet sites, making video trailers and writing numerous articles ranging from writing tips, to Pagan magic, quantum physics and even a series on how writers can stay fit, Dr. Bourque, a mother of two, is doing it all so that her story ANCIENT WHISPERS can hit the shelves of your nearest bookstore.

Voting for this last round of American Title V will take place between March 16th to March 29th at http://www.romantictimes.com/news_amtitle3.php

Your vote will change her life.
