Cindy Argiento, a writer from Greensboro was named a Semi-Finalist in the latest “America’s Funniest Humor!” Writing Contest held by HumorPress.com.

For her accomplishment, Argiento has earned publication in HumorPress.com‘s online humor showcase. Her entry, “Honesty Will Kill a Relationship,” is about how honesty is not always the best policy and can cause hard feelings between husband and wife. “Honesty Will Kill a Relationship” will be featured in the current showcase through mid-June 2011, after which new results from the bi-monthly contest will be posted.

Daily, thousands of people come up to me and ask, “When are you going to make a book with your columns?” The truth is thousands don’t ask, but hundreds do. Ok, you got me, hundreds don’t ask, but dozens do. Enough already, my conscious is killing me, one person asked. One person was all it took for me to publish a book with my columns dating back to 2001. Check out my book page to learn more. If you have a Nook, an eBook version is available from Barnes and Noble.
