Thank you @ctriverreview for nominating my poem "Teenager" for a Pushcart Prize. It's my first nomination and I'll never forget it.

Two Pushcart Nominations in one year?!? What is going on? Best not ask too many questions, huh? Someone might catch on that I lack the requisite artistic integrity to stick to one genre. Thanks so much The Sunlight Press for nominating my story "No Good Deed."

Thanks Flash Fiction Magazine for picking this piece up. Anything Else - go.shr.lc/3CXN75W
