Bill M. Barnes

My Memorial Day theme short story, "A Good Show for a Dime" appeared May 9 on American Chronicle.

Barry Basden

My poem, "Night Moves" is up at Flash Fire 500.

Bub Dalton

My story "Countdown" was published in Camroc Press on April 30.

Alice Folkart

A clutch of five 'domestic' poems (requested by the editor) is up at 7Beats. You'll have to scroll down past the 4th photo image (Roman columns) to find me. But, don't go too fast - there's some pretty nice other stuff. I'm in good company.

AND - In response to a call for submissions of memoir about mothers here in the Islands, I wrote and sent in a piece. The project is called My Mama Monologues. My piece was among about 20 selected from submissions from all over the world to be presented in a public (paid - but not to me) reading associated with Mother's Day. Readings are scheduled on Maui, Kawai'i and here on Oahu. The Maui readings, two performances, will be held this weekend. We'll be reading here on Oahu, in Honolulu, on the 15th and the 17th. Each production has a producer, a professional director and professional readers/actors. My piece will be read by the producer/director (an actor/writer) on Maui. Here on Oahu, I get to read it myself and also read the works of two other writers who couldn't get to Oahu for the event.

AND - am going to the book launch reception Wednesday evening of Rainbird, the annual literary journal of Windward Community College. I have two poems in that.

Flying high!
