My chapbooks arrived from Puddle House. Thanks to all Eratosphereans who have patiently put up with my clumsy offerings. It's a priviledge to be the recipient of such mature instruction and to be able to post here.
Also, I have actually been PAID for a short story!! "Three Mile Island Hotdogs," by The Danforth Review. We're blowing it on a visit to the restaurant where my son is sous chef and where we haven't been able to eat because it's too expensive.
