First off, I just have to say, I went to Orycon today and loved getting to be around other writers and readers in person again (all masked up this time). 

Now for the update!  Last month I reviewed the proof for my upcoming tale, “Song of the Balsa Wood Bird.”  It was exciting to see my piece getting finalized, and I can hardly wait to share it when it’s published in Fireside Magazine. 

By the way, Fireside Magazine publishes a range of fiction and poetry chosen by well-respected guest editors, and they really support their writers.  Please consider supporting them as a subscriber. It means a lot to those of us who focus on short stories and poems, where the economics often don’t match up to all the time we invest in our art.  As the Econ major in me would say, please help demonstrate the demand so we can continue to provide the supply.
