A First

Last year, as I was scrambling over a collection of manuscripts in various states of non-completeness, I took a short story I'd done for my creative writing class and submitted it to a young writers anthology, just to see what would happen.

 Well, this happened.

 
That was a bit of a surprise! It's something to put in the bio section of my queries, finally. Kidding (well, not really). I'm quite attached to the story, since it's based on my Uncle Peter who died when he was a teenager (one reason I'm so fond of the name Peter). I'm glad it's found a good home, where hopefully people will read it. Also they're splitting the royalties between us as sort of a college fund: very nice of them.

Check out the trailer where I and the other eight authors got to talk about the anthology. I actually haven't watched it yet, as I'm stuck on campus with no headphones. Such is life.
