Where crickets and cicadas are louder.

Mention my fiction - and there is the dulcet sound of crickets chirping. Or cicadas, since it is officially Summer.

I foresee this happening in the near and distant future. :P

Just a note: Envisioning is available for download.

And a review is on Gather.com (I used to go to Gather... and then I got busy and forgot about it).

*crickets and cicadas chirping away*

*lol*

Lost and found.

After a lot of digging and searching, I found an old story of mine - circa 1996! - in a folder. Actually, I suspected I had a copy lying around somewhere.

I read it through and winced. A couple of things I have to change. Re-type, re-examine, re-new. It was the story that got my first rejection. ;) But well, going to polish it up once more and put in my submission file.

I also found an old poem - also circa 1995-1996 - in the same folder. I won an award for English verse with that one. Whoa. 13 years ago. Oh wow. Suddenly, memories came back. My first poetry reading at a beatnik-ish cafe/bar. They had an Open Section for anyone who wanted to read their poems. The audience was quite receptive and a couple of people said that I did well.

Whoa. I feel my age.
