More New Fiction News

Late last night word came through the internet that my story The Wire Out was won second prize in The Barry Hannah Memorial Contest at Fried Chicken and Coffee. They'll be publishing it in the new future and of course, dear blog reader, I'll be letting you know when that happens.

The story started as an assignment at Goddard for The No Masters No Gods informal class. Later at that residency several of us were driving between Plainfield and Montpelier when I spotted a man working on the highway holding the stop/go sign. Then the next day Darcey asked us to describe something without naming it in her Lucid Detail workshop. I described that guy, then put some things together.
