CONGRATULATIONS, VANESSA!!!!

Talk about the ironies of life...the very friend who found my father's gravesite in France, the friend who invited me to her online fiction workhouse, and got me writing again...THAT is the friend who just won the $1000 Per Contra prize.

Read Vanessa's story here in Per Contra

Ohhhh, and by the way....I was one of the nine finalists. So my story "Heavy Transport" will be published in Per Contra and purchased too. Yay.

To say that Vanessa is on a roll is the understatement. Today ALSO her book of short
fiction was released.



And if you're not impressed yet, take a look at Kelly Spitzer's interview of this
remarkable woman and writer:

Vanessa Gebbie

All I can say is she deserves all the kudos she gets. A true talent whose life is
inspirational.
