My author's copies of the Anthology of Appalachian Authors, Vol. III arrived from Shepherd University! This was my second time my work has appeared in the anthology. My story "Rat-Killin'" was in Vol. II last year.
Naturally, I checked the table of contents to make sure I was really in it. Yep! Right on page 97.
I'd submitted a slightly different version of Query Letter from Helen from the one that had won first place in the fiction division at the 2010 CNU conference. It's nice to see the story in print.
I can't wait to read the book. I recognize quite a few contributors' names, and I know that they write good stuff.

Congratulations Becky! What's it about?

Oh, that's got to be funny.
Congratulations! It's always exciting to get contributor's copies.
