I'm so excited! I got my official "Congratulations" e-mail last night.
My story, "A Hairy Situation," will be among the 65 stories in Not Your Mother's Book . . . On Being a Mom, from Publishing Syndicate.
Don't you just love the cover--on the left?
The book, edited by Dahlynn McKowen, Ken McKowen, and Dianna Graveman, is on fast-track for publication.The nationwide release date is April 8, 2014.
What's also exciting is that I've read posts from some of my writing friends on Facebook who also have stories in the anthology!
After I get my contributor copies I will have a giveaway here on my blog, so stay tuned.
