Today I’m thrilled to promote a writer and her story published today in Every Day Fiction. I’m thrilled because the author, Sheila M. Good is not only a good writer but she is my critique partner and my sister. So I’m doubly proud as a big sister and a writer who talks shop with her all most every day.

Her story is one of love and friendship which speaks to the heart but the ending like any good story stops you in your tracks. I sometimes wonder if only in the South are these rituals still so sacred. So you should take a moment, grab a cup of coffee or tea and enjoy

I think I can, I think I can… Time to come out of hibernation. Spring is here and I’m determined to rev up my submissions. There are a lot of wonderful magazines and anthologies waiting. Now all I need to do is produce something fabulous, hit send, cross my fingers, rub a rabbit’s foot and pray the editors will accept a piece or two.What about you? Are you ready to submit something amazing to the many waiting editors?

Here are a few of the many contests and magazines which popped into my Inbox. Let me know where you are submitting.

Janie and I practiced on our hands and in the mirror. None of the books talked about flavors, unless the characters had eaten something gross. We didn’t think that counted.
