The Good and the Bad
The Good:
I was published in the anthology "Other Tongues: Mixed-Race Women Speak Out" Edited by Adebe Derango-adem and Andrea Thompson.
You can find it at Amazon.com, BarnesandNobles.com, and Borders.com.

The Bad:
It is already sold out online.
--------------
Overall, I am still in a state of shock over this. I am aware that there is a book, with an ISBN number that has a piece of my writing in it that anyone can purchase. (Well, anyone can purchase when they do another printing!) But there is a large part of me that can't believe this really happened.
Sure, I have been published before and I have even been paid on a regular basis for my writing. But this is the first time I am in anthology that can be found in bookstores in the United States and Canada.
This victory is pushing me to work even harder on my craft. I don't want this to be a fluke publication, but the first of many. I don't expect every piece I submit to be accepted. Every writer knows rejection is part of the deal, no matter how talented or connected they might be. But I am writing on a regular basis again and that is what matters most.
