Every year, Sunstone sponsors a fiction contest funded by the generosity of an anonymous donor.

Today, we’re pleased to announce the winners of the 2017 Sunstone Fiction Contest.

1st Place: “Tower,” by Ryan McIlvain. On the heels of his father’s suicide, an aspiring writer reinterprets a fateful home teaching visit.

3rd Place: “420 North,” by Alex Peterson. A drive into Sanpete County becomes a wrestle for sanity. Is that the Spirit whispering? Or the devil?
