Humungo News!

An exciting development for me: I won the H.R. (Bill) Percy Novel Prize for my novel (Living in the Dirt/Drive-by Saviours) in the Atlantic Writing Competition! This is hopefully a big step toward finding a publisher.

Check out http://www.writers.ns.ca/pr25Aug08.html for details.

I will receive my prize and do a reading at a Gala Celebration of Writers and Writing Sept 27, 7 pm, at Alderney Landing Theatre in Dartmouth. It's a free event so come on out all you local folks.

Wow, that's wonderful. Congratulations. I hope this opens a bunch of doors for you. Would love to come to the reading but I probably won't make it all the way from Louisiana. Good luck with it.

Thanks Charles, and yeah, no worries about the event. Louisiana's a good place to be.
