FICTION WRITERS AWARD

I'm excited to share with you, in July I won the "Fiction Writers Award" for short stories! I received a book by Nancy Ellen Dod, a professor of Creative Writing at Pepperdine University in Southern California. Writing shorts stories has been a new fun adventure for me.

ANTHOLOGY OF SHORT STORIES!

Hi!  I've been writing short stories all year since publishing my latest book, The Unsurrendered.  I've enjoyed the medium and have won an award for one of my latest stories.  The story is "The Blessing Way,"  and I hope to be included in an anthology which will be published later in the year.

I've completed my round robin novels, so I've decided to take a couple of months off, except for the occasional short story. Perhaps more reading of other new authors will be in my future.!

I'll let you know when the anthologies are published!  There are a lot of great authors in the groups, and I have discovered a fondness for the medium.  It takes a certain amount of determination, experience, and creativity to write a complete story in 750 words, but there are a lot of them!
