Cathi LaMarche has a story in this collection. I won't give away too many details of her tale, but I will say I was yearning for a particular ending, and shazam! It finished just the way I wanted it to...it ended up being a combination memoir and fairy-tale-come-true. Cathi is one lucky lady. (You'll have to buy the book and read the story to find out why she is so fortunate in my eyes...)
Donna Volkenannt is in the book as well. Donna had an integral role in my story and she's mentioned by name...several times. She

And hey! The WWWPs are mentioned (in my bio) as well. They have the label of "infamous." Perhaps "notorious" would be more apropos?
Buy a copy of the book. It's one that every writer should have...
Wow! Sioux. Congratulations. I had no idea. I'm flattered and honored to be mentioned in your essay. You are too kind.
ReplyDeleteDonna--Thanks, but no--thank YOU.
DeleteBIG congrats, Sioux! And though I don't have a particular Donna story, I agree. She's definitely an inspiration! (As are you!)
ReplyDeleteCathy--Thanks. You inspire me as well. One of the things I like best about blogging is I have friends--and resources--all over the world.
DeleteAwesome, Sioux! It's out May 21st, right?
ReplyDeleteI think that's still the debut date.
DeleteCongratulations! I'm so proud of you! I've been following your blog for quite a while, as you know, and you've grown in confidence so much, and you're getting published on a regular basis. I'm happy that you have Donna and the rest of your WWWPs to encourage you and share your successes. You rock, lady!
ReplyDeleteLisa--It's "rockers" like you and Cathy and Donna and Shay and Mama Zen and Val and Marcia and the WWWPs and...I could go on and on, but it's because of ALL of my writer friends that I've grown more confident.
DeleteYay for you and Donna, too. You are both so generous and helpful.
ReplyDeleteLinda--Me, helpful? I've heard MANY adjectives used to describe me, but never that one. ;) Thanks.
DeleteCongrats! I'll have to get my hands on one of those tomes.
ReplyDeleteVal--Thanks. Have you submitted a story lately to an editor/publisher? Prodding minds want to know.
DeleteCongrats Sioux!!!! When is it coming out as I want to be sure and get a copy.
ReplyDeleteIt's coming out May 21st.
DeleteThose Chicken Gutz books are everywhere! Oh wait...Chicken Gutz was a comic strip.
ReplyDeleteShay--You are so funny. I don't know about the Chicken Gutz, but the Chicken Soup books are everywhere, too.
DeleteDonna has helped me so many times, too. We need to have a Donna party! :) LOL Are you going to have a book signing, Sioux?
ReplyDeleteMargo--I agree. A Donna extravaganza. When you see her, why don't you suggest it...I'm sure she'd be agreeable. ;)
ReplyDeleteDonna is amazing and so are you. Congratulations on yet another publication!
ReplyDeleteTammy--Thanks. I think all of my blogging friends are amazing women (and men).
DeleteBloggers are incredible in how much they do and how well they do it.
ReplyDeleteCongratulations!
