Published out of Penn-State Erie, the new issue of Lake Effect (Volume 16/Spring 2012) is now available for purchase. Her story "Winter's Wooden Sparrows" appears within its pages.

This is her second time working with Lake Effect, as six years ago they published my story "Digging" (Issue #10), a story about a girl and boy who discover their siblings and father buried in the forest.  "Digging" is in The Floating Order, while "Sparrows" will be in her next book, Midwest in Memoriam, which she recently began sending out to publishers.

If a pattern has begun, then in six more years she''ll have another story for another book.  That's a rather nice idea.
