I attened the Eureka Springs Writers Conference in Arkansas on October 6-8, 2011. The guest speakers were fantastic. At the Saturday awards banqut I place 3rd Homorable Mentioned for my short story, A Dragon or Not, about a dargon who safeguards a young boy from childhood to adolescents. He longs to become a human boy. But first they must solve a riddle. Needless to say, dreams do come true.
I also received 2nd place for my short story, Grandma Claus, about the time my grandmother dressed as Santa Claus to convince me and my brothers and sisters that Old St. Nick was real.
