I am pleased to announce a couple of forthcoming publications. My story “Ask Your Mom” will appear shortly in The Danforth Review and my story “Dominion” will appear in FreeFall in Winter 2014. Thanks to the editors at both these publications for your faith in my work! I’ll post more information about both stories once it becomes available.
This Saturday afternoon I’m going to the Sharon Drummond Chapbook Prize Celebration at Shelf Life Books. I did not know Sharon well, but the few times I met her she was very kind and encouraging about my writing when I was pretty wet behind the ears as a fiction writer. She was editor of FreeFall when my story “Nothing Sacred” made Honorable Mention in their fiction contest, back in 2003, and called to tell me the news. I was so surprised I almost fell over. So it will be my pleasure to join in celebrating Sharon’s legacy. It promises to be a great afternoon of readings and remembering.
Congratulations Lori! Good news on all fronts. I can’t make the thing on Saturday, I have my own gig going that afternoon but hopefully we can connect at one of the writers’ group meetings again soon.
