Personal News:

I have a new story up at Short Story America: "Wounded Moon." It's so cool how they do it. It's like it's own little book. You may have to join in order to read it, but probably not.

Hi Gay,

I enjoyed reading "Wounded Moon" (it is cool how it's like a book, really neat), I think it's terrific. It's a touching, sad story. One of the roughest aspects of being a police officer was the fatal motor vehicle accidents. When I got into PIO, I was writing a press release about fatal car crashes every week. I lost my own brother in 2001 in a motorcycle crash, a young woman failed to yield right of way. Not a day has passed since he died that I haven't thought of him.
Congrats on the recognition your story received.
All the best,
Kathy
