Thrilled that I made the final cut for this powerful new anthology, "Home of the Brave: Somewhere in the Sand," just released from Press 53, Winston-Salem, NC. All 22 entries are fiction, and I'm excited that a brief excerpt from my new novel, "Johnnie Come Lately," appears in these pages.

Many thanks to award-winning Editor Jeffery Hess for believing in my work. I'm happy to rub shoulders with David Abrams, author of the novel Fobbit (Grove/Atlantic), a New York Times Notable Book of 2012, and Tracy Crow, author of "Eyes Right: Confessions from a Woman Marine," recipient of the 2012 Florida Book Awards bronze medal in general nonfiction and a three time nominee for the Pushcart Prize.

In the meantime, I'm keeping my fingers crossed that I land an agent and get a traditional publisher for Johnnie.
