Well, it turns out a little piece I wrote called “The Power of Pebbles” will appear in the forthcoming Cup of Comfort for a Better World. That news came Friday as I was having one crisis after another. My daughter forgot her math book and her scooter, which she needs to get around to her classes, broke. That all meant I had to make an extra trip home and meet a couple deadlines in a few short hours in order to get her scooter in for repairs by 2 p.m. Somewhere in all of that, I managed to find a minute to check my email and see that I ended up among the 49 finalists to have essays in the book. The entire list of contributors is at the Cup of Comfort blog. The book is due out in March of next year.
I have another book coming out soon I think. More Sweet Lemons, an anthology on Sicilian culture, should be out any month now. I think December was the last I heard, but it might be later. Three of my poems were accepted for publication in that book, which is near and dear to my heart because I am of Sicilian heritage.
I did send my first agent query. It’s a start. I’m on my way:)
Congratulations! It’s well deserved. May this just be the start of many publications.
Thanks Linda!
Congratulations!!! Awesome. I love the title “The Power of Pebbles” and I can’t wait to read it.
And good job on the query. One a day means 14 out in a week!
congratulations. And querying? How exciting. I hope you get the agent of your dreams.
I’m crossing my fingers and plan on making a blitz soon:)
