Better late than never

I’m back.

I went through a dry spell where writing and life in general were less than rewarding experiences. Thankfully I’ve found an oasis in the desert that has been my life for a year or twenty.

First I got kissed by Michael Dorn aka Worf at Dragoncon 2008. First step in awakening the dead.

Then I had a new baby. Well, my daughter had the baby. My first grandbaby. A little girl. Born Feb 3, 2009 at five o’clock in the morning. Talk about a breathing life back into a pile of dust.

I won money prizes at OWFI this year. 2nd Place Sci-Fi/Fantasy/Horror Short Story for “Inheritance”, 3rd Place Mazie Cox Reid Column Award for ” A Shot in the Dark: Tales of a Night Nurse”, and 4th Honorable Mention Adult Short Story for “Borders”.

My best friend Lisa A Willis gave me a beautiful Mentor of the Year Award.

2009 is looking bright and fulfilling already. I’m satisfied. Okay, I’m a little happy. I admit it. But don’t expect me to blog about it.

Oh yeah, I’m on Twitter and Facebook now.
