James Award - 2008-05-01

I just won a James B. Baker Award for nonfiction for an article of mine ("Unusual Vampire Lore" in Hungur magazine). This is one of the bigger small press awards out there, so it's fun for me. The irony is that after getting no recognition of any kind for the 450+ stories and poems I've had published (okay - one Pushcart nomination) ... after only about 10 articles, there it is. More info in in the May 2008 issue of Expressions.

Other Info, rings & stuff

Cool milestones: in 1997 I wrote my 200th story. And in 1999 I wrote my 500,000th word of short fiction. Half a million words, and my fingers are still going. The human body is quite a miraculous thing. You'd think I'd be tired by now.
