This fall, The Delmarva Review published my short story, “Mrs. Morrisette.” Now, they’ve nominated it for inclusion in the 2012 Pushcart Prize anthology. According to the Pushcart website, “The Pushcart Prize – Best of the Small Presses series, published every year since 1976, is the most honored literary project in America.” Next April, I’ll find out if my story made it into this year’s publication, but regardless of the outcome, it’s a great honor to have my work nominated.
Here’s how “Mrs. Morrisette” begins:
“Mrs. Morrisette had taken to sunbathing in the nude. Mr. Morrisette blamed it on those damned Frenchies. One vacation on St. Barts and suddenly Mrs. Morrisette was a nudist.”
