I’ve had good news and sad news this week. First, my short memoir scheduled to appear in the November/December issue of The Good Old Days magazine, has been bumped. “Unfortunately for space and time considerations” was the official reason. They will hold it for possible publishing later. Since “The Christmas of ‘44” is an obvious seasonal piece, I guess that means next Christmas at the earliest…Sigh.
Meanwhile my five short stories posted on Storystar continue to gather readers and comments, and new this week, “It’s a Miracle” was named story of the week. With 290 readers. It had previously been “story of the day.”
My five short stories on StoryStar have accumulated a total of 2022 readers., with “Dolly” topping the list with 932. That is reason enough for me to celebrate.
