So last night I get this email from Versal about my baby VILHO AND THE BIRTH OF PALE ORCHIDS (short story excerpt from SEVENTEEN) Made me cry! So words of kindness to a lonely writing creature... (If you want to read the thing. Emai me. If I publish it on mt site, it's published meaning I can't submit it as "unpublished" work.

VERSAL The literary & art annual out of Amsterdam wrote:
“... One of the finest pieces we received.“

They want a piece for September's deadline.

I add that to this.... and I cry some more.

A Director University of Iowa Press


“I found it [Vilho and the Birth of Pale Orchids] very dream-like at moments, and yet--or, because it is--full of surprise.  The language is rich and spare.  The point of view, very dynamic. I'm intrigued.”


Below is a self portrait by my friend at the San Francisco Art Institute - JOAN BROWN - working away as if she were still here ....

Thus my child in progress: SEVENTEEN has been greeted well.... I am in the audience while my child is on stage performing!! Know the feeling? Tears, right?
