The anthology my short story is in is a finalist in the Swoonies...but I'm not sure what the winners get...bragging rights? Pasting this here in case anyone has some free time to vote, but it's also a long form, so it might not be worth it! (You can skip through other pages until you get to the Romance Anthology page, and the anthology is Friends to Lovers Vol. 1) https://www.theswoonawards.com/2022/01/31/the-2021-swoon-awards-finals-round/

Baby, If you’ve ever wondered,
Wondered whatever became of me
I’m living on the air in Cincinnati
Cincinnati, W K R P.
Got tired of packin’ and unpackin’,

Maybe you and me were never meant to be
Just maybe think of me once in a while.
I’m at W K R P in Cincinnati.
