Surprise!

I got a very nice email this morning telling me that my story, "Only In Bellington" has been selected as the winner of the 2007 Ann Arbor Book Festival's Short Story Contest.

That's money in the bank.

Er...money in the bank then back out again to pay off things, like, my MFA.

Either way, it's good, and I'll take it.

New Stuff

Several new bits and pieces up on The Stealing Season. I've been in a zone lately, not much for eating or sleeping, and when I am doing anything else, my brain is pretty much awash in characters and plotlines.

Could all be a mess, but that's what that site is for anyway. A workshop. Speaking of which, if anyone can think of a title for the latest story (the one so cleverly dubbed "Title?") - you'll win a prize. Yeah. That's not a bad idea. If someone suggests a title that I wind up using, I'll send a prize. (Most likely a book...seeing as I have so many.)

If you don't already have access to The Stealing Season and would like it, just send me an email (link's at the top.)
