We have a winner!

For the past month, we have received all kinds of submissions. Clever scribes from across the country crafted their “first lines,” imagining how the next Elizabeth Crowne story would begin. Their creativity has inspired us to no end. But one line stood out:

“I’ve never accepted life very well, so how could you expect me to handle death?” – Alessandra K. Jacobs

Moody and attention-grabbing. Now that’s the ticket.

Many thanks to all our brave contenders. Stay tuned for future contests and call-outs to our beloved readers. And as always, feel free to send a question to Elizabeth directly, thank to our “Ask an Uncannologist” feature. Until next time!
