Short Stories
I have written many short stories through the years with little luck in selling them which is why a sale to Woman’s World in 2009 was all that much sweeter. Naturally, it was also the year a major magazine distributor went out of business and it was nip and tuck there for a while as to whether or not I'd even be able to buy a copy as a keepsake! Fortunately, friends and neighbors came through and I ended up with several copies.
I copied Smiling Eyes from my manuscript. WW made a few changes, like the title and giving the heroine a name, but it's basically the same story.
Chrysalis won first place in a writing contest way back in 1993.
I've been writing a lot of short pieces for various blogs and thought I'd share a few with you.
This one is also available at Longandshortreview.com along with some other essays I wrote for them earlier this summer.

I've written humor columns for a local newspaper as well as an article here and there for newsletters (print and electronic). Here's one you might enjoy "Close Encounters of the Roach Kind."
