Brook Bhagat is pleased to announce that her short story, “Magic Chai,” tied for second place this August in the Pikes Peak Library District’s annual fiction writing contest, All Pikes Peak Writes. This year, the contest required that each story in the adult writing category be under 3500 words and begin with the sentence, “The train screeched to a halt.” “Magic Chai” was helped by invaluable feedback from the Nearby Universe, and Brook extends her gratitude to the group. The story is dedicated to her father and will be published this fall in an anthology.
