Well, lookie here!

Here I was lamenting my paltry short story output in recent years, and storySouth goes and picks one of my stories for its annual Million Writers Award.  The final Top 10 will be announced May 15, but it truly is an honor to be nominated.

The story?  “Lady Luck” from last summer’s Thrilling Detective.

Congrats, too, to editors Kevin Burton Smith and Gerald So, who had a second story, “The Truth About Lang Tri” by Robert Petyo, nominated from the same issue.

* If you know the backstory behind this headline, you know it’s directed at one of those people I’m hoping to avoid at the Star Trek premier in a couple of weeks.  You know, the ones Shatner told to get a life.  Yes, there are fanficcers who think they are Dennis Lehane.  This one wasn’t even Dennis the Menace.

And anyway, I’ve gone back to school, so I’m no longer officially a dropout.
