Congratulations to this week's crew!

After a wait of six months from acceptance to appearance, I have three poems now at Pemmican, a site that caters to social and political commentary.

Thanks to those who helped with the two short poems when they were 55-worders. The longer one, "Old Scores," began life as a rant--based, I like to think, on truth--and morphed into a fantasy based only on partial truth at best. But it sure felt good at the time...

Norman Cooper

I have joined other esteemed IWW members such as Wayne Sheer by seeing my work published on Fiction At Work.

As usual, thanks to all at the Practice-W, Fiction and Prose-P groups for their help fine tuning this story.

Stacey Dye

My poem "A Fine Line" is up at Dew on the Kudzu.

It was a challenge winner some time ago on another site where I workshop. The challenge was to write a poem in your own vernacular that describes an instance where you may have acted a bit out of line at a family gathering...I unfortunately had a story from many moons ago!

Thanks to everyone for their continued support.

Alice Folkart

Bob Sanchez and I appear as guest writers in the current edition of In Focus, the Newsletter of the West Valley Branch of the California Writers Club, edited by Kathy Highcove. My essay (originally written for Practice a year ago) "Thanksgiving with Grandma Pearl," appears right next to Bob's charming memoir on page 11 (you'll have to scroll down to that page). I'm honored to be in such good company.

Tom Mahony

My short story, "Castles," is up at Bartleby-Snopes.

Gary Presley

It's always good to have a little ditty appreciated by a good writer who is also a good editor. A flash piece I wrote based on ... well, I don't know: the glimpse of an actress in a movie, a conversation overhead, a dream ... is up at Camroc Press Review.

Randy Radic

My commentary on Where The Wild Things Are is up at Basil and Spice. Thanks to Kelly.

My review of Life After 187 is up at Alvah's Books. Thanks to Wade for the book and to Rebeca for the opportunity.

Bob Sanchez

A short Thanksgiving essay of mine has just appeared in the newsletter of The California Writers's Club (West Valley Branch), thanks to their editor, Kathy Highcove. You'll need to scroll down to page 11 of the PDF, where I am honored to have space next to Alice Folkart's essay.

Please check it out -- you get two for the price of one!
