Hi everyone!  Clarion West is a great workshop for aspiring speculative fiction writers.  I attended in 1990, and am happy to particiipate in this summer's Write-a-thon fundraiser.  During the 6-week workshop (June 17-July 26), I will be writing and hopefully raising some money to support thie workshop's continuing operations and future students.  My writing goals for the 2024 Write-a-thon are:

1.  Participate in the Flash Fiction Workshop and write a new flash fiction story each week.

2. Revise my 2022 Christmas story and get it ready for submission.

3.  Write 2-3 new chapters of my novel-in-progress.

To read a sample of my fiction, here's a link to my story "Emerging from the Shadows," published in Issue 8 of Compelling Science Fiction.
