2 Winners and a Welcome

        The furry, puppy-breath part first. In a couple of days we will be welcoming a chewing-peeing-yipping machine into our fold. Here is a picture of Radar. He's coming to our house on Wednesday.

         And after spending hours and hours creating the entries, I was ready to draw two winning names.

      (The names on the left were for the copy of The Harsh and the Heart. The names on the right were for the We Will Survive anthology.)

      And the winners are:

Pat H.--We Will Survive

Donna--The Harsh and the Heart

       Ladies, if you email me your home address, I will send your book to you. (My email address is at the top of my blog.)
      

They're a Brick! House!

         Okay, I admit it. Disco is my favorite driving music. It keeps me awake and alert and energized.

       In fact, in the September issue of Sasee magazine, a story of mine ("Still Dancing") is going to appear. It chronicles my horrific unbelievable past attempts at dancing.

                                                         These are plates. Don't you think any food
                                                  placed on it would boogie-oogie-oogie right off?

        Tomorrow, some local writers are going to be guests at a private event, featuring Gloria Gaynor, the queen of I Will Survive. Cathi LaMarche, Alice Muschany, Lynn Obermoeller, and Linda O'Connell will be dancing under the disco ball--and they each have a story of theirs published in an anthology about surviving.

                                                      This is the cover of the anthology inspired
                                                     by Gloria Gaynor's song "I Will Survive."

         Please send them congratulations and if you're older-than-mud "seasoned" enough to remember the disco era, give them your best dancing advice...

         ...'Cause they don't need no stinkin' writing advice. They're solid writers. Each of them is a Brick! House! of writing skills.
