Ladies Night: The Gasconade Review V

Why not keep looking back on things that I got to have fun doing. I didn't write any blog posts nearly the whole month of November or December due to a brutal flu. I don't know what it was, but it was out for my life.

Thankfully I eventually beat it into submission but, in it's wake, I'm still trying to catch up on all the wonderful things that happened that I failed to blog about.

I had a short story published in the book "The Gasconade Review Presents: Ladies' Night." It was published by Spartan Press and edited by John Dorsey, Jason Ryberg, and Rebecca Weber.

The story is called "Good Boy." As I mentioned in a previous blog post

My Story Is Going To Be In The Gasconade Review #5!

"Good Boy" is horror/fantasy short story that revolves around the myth of the black dog. I enjoyed getting to push myself to try short story writing. I've never had an easy time telling a short story (just ask anyone whose ever had a conversation with me.) 

December 14th was the release party for "Ladies' Night." Check me out: I was dressed, out of bed, and able to speak. Admittedly I ended up mute from the flu again just a few days later. But, I got to keep my voice long enough to read my short story to the crowd. As a bonus I got to listen to some of the talented poets who had poems published in the same anthology.  

Now I need to get back to my other projects which include two novels (which are dragging along so slowly) and at least one more short story.
