I spent today celebrating the publishing of an excerpt from my work-in-progress novel. "Lollipop Angel" stars my favorite character, Minska. She's a little kooky, full of love but no pushover, and she's got some psychic abilities. In this excerpt edited into a short story, she chats with a little girl named Bella, the other key character in the novel. Minska gives her a lesson in angels.
Such pride and ambition and inspiration at the event launching "Strange Magic - An Anthology of Short Stories." There were about 50 submissions, but only 18 were chosen, and 6 of those were from instructors of the class. I was thrilled to be 1 of 12 out of the 50 students whose work was accepted. Special thanks to Catherine Jordan for getting everything together. Also thanks to all of the instructors of A Novel Idea (held at Landis House, Newport, PA) and my classmates for bringing their worlds into mine.
** All proceeds for the purchases of Strange Magic go to the Perry County Council for the Arts **
