The “You Belong” Anthology

As I’d mentioned in a previous post, my short story, “Tail Gunner” has been accepted into the Longmont Public Library’s “The You Belong Collection: Writings and Illustrations from Longmont Area Residents” anthology, ISBN 9780615612157. The book will be available April 9th, 2012, for $15. Check out their What’s New link for updated in formation, come April.

Initially the anthology is only available through the Longmont Public Library, but in the near future, says Mr. Kenworthy, Systems Administrator and Head of Technical Services at the library, and Point Man for the project, they plan on having it available through Amazon.com.

On April 9th (Monday), the Longmont library is also hosting an open house, from 6:30 to 9 p.m., and on April 13th (Friday), a booksigning of local authors, from 1 to 5 p.m. I will be attending both events, and offered to read “Tail Gunner” at the April 9th Open House. All anthology proceeds go to the library.

Congratulations to all who were included in The YOU BELONG Collection! I look forward to meeting you–and the staff of the Longmont library!

I have just been informed that my short story, “Tail Gunner,” originally published in issue #103 of The Black Sheep, is to be published in “The You Belong Collection: Writings and Illustrations from Longmont Area Residents” anthology, available April 9th, 2012, for $15.

This is my first anthology, and I’m really psyched about “Tail Gunner” heading toward a wider audience!  Nearly 300 submission were received, and I’m glad to have finally been included in the “accepted” category, though feel for all those not accepted (keep trying–never give up)!
