Story Acceptance!

I am thrilled to announce another short story acceptance. This one from Knight Writing Press. The anthology is based on "be careful what you wish for." I love this theme and used to teach The Wishgiver to my third graders and have them write companion stories to go with it. I can give my freshman English teacher credit for that lesson idea; she let us write vignettes to fit into Ray Bradbury's Dandelion Wine. I guess today we'd call that fanfiction.

My story for this anthology, "Death Stopped for Florencia," is not fanfiction, but it is a bit of an homage to the magical realism of Gabriel Garcia Marquez, one of my favorite writers. I don't remember when I first read Love in the Time of Cholera or "A Very Old Man with Enormous Wings," but I've revisited those pieces many times throughout the years and continue to draw inspiration from them. Of course, the title is a nod to Emily Dickinson as well. I hope you will enjoy my story in this anthology, and I can't wait to read what the other authors have contributed.
