And, my ninth book of poetry: Into the Wind was released, as well as a collection of short stories: Exaltation: Stories of Spiritual Adventure. Both are/will be available on Amazon.
Because I was gone part of July, I've combined July & Aug together. In that time the Adirondack Center for Writing posted two poems and three memoirs of mine in response to their weekly prompts. The Origami Poetry Project accepted and posted: Trees and Me, a micro chapbook of my poems, using a photo I took of my tree for the cover. It, along with several others, is available to download and print for free from their website. A short story: Teaching Polywogs, was posted by Lothlorian Poetry Journal, the second of my stories there. Individual poems were posted by Dashboard Horus and Five Fleas. A few other poems and stories were accepted for publication in the next few months. Most surprisingly, one story: Missing Mother, was nominated for Best of the Net. I'd thought it was a good story and I'd sent it out several times. When I looked at my Submission Log, I discovered that I first sent it out in 2014 to forty-nine different places until Masticadores USA accepted and posted it this spring. WOW!!! And, my ninth book of poetry: Into the Wind was released, as well as a collection of short stories: Exaltation: Stories of Spiritual Adventure. Both are/will be available on Amazon. f you have news of writing events that would be of interest to all Kansas Authors Club members, or if you are a member (dues current) who would like to announce an achievement, please submit your news via this form.
