Meeting Georgia Ruth

PGB and Georgia Ruth

Georgia Ruth and I met as members of StorySuccess, the online critique group sponsored by the Guppy Chapter of Sisters in Crime. By email, we communicated about stories and other matters, but did not meet in person until I attended the High Country Festival of the Book in Boone, NC. We took a picture with each of us holding a copy of Mystery Times Ten 2013, the anthology that published Georgia’s “Dear Courtney” and my “Confidence in the Family.” In the July/August issue of the Bethlehem Writers Roundtable, our stories appear together again.

Christmas and New Year Joy!

Last month Buddhapuss Ink publisher MaryChris Bradley emailed that “Confidence in the Family” would appear in both print and e-book formats. On December 13 (the release date), I received MYSTERY TIMES TEN 2013 and loved sharing it during the holidays. To celebrate the anthology’s launch, my talented bestest buddy author Susan F. Craft made a wonderful glass ornament featuring the cover and my story title. She found the perfect display “hook,” so I can enjoy the ornament throughout the year. In 2013, I’ve rejoiced for friends, family, story publications, and a new website. I’m so incredibly grateful. Happy New Year!
