    My short story "Heart" appears in FOOL FOR LOVE (Cleis Press). I also have a short biopic piece, "First Touch," in I LIKE IT LIKE THAT (Arsenal Pulp Press). My short story "Cakewalk" appears in "I Do Two" (MLR Press). Forthcoming are "Aiming to Please" in TENTED (Lethe Press) and "Three" in BLOOD SACRAMENTS (Bold Stroke Books).

    Thanks Nathan for the words of advice. I think being an author is a wonderful aspiration to have. I hope one day to accomplish that but it'll take effort and time.

    Congratulations on your wedding as well. That's wonderful to hear!
