Literary at Last

I have my first in-print, by-ghod literary journal publication.  The fogey part of me is tickled by this milestone; my other literary publications have been online.

The journal is BACOPA, out of the Writers Alliance of Gainesville, Florida.  It's an annual book and really very good, high quality poetry and fiction.   The story is "The Stronger," set in Southern Indiana in 1910 and based on my grandfather's life as a bookish farm boy.

"The Stronger" is the title story of a four-story collection, all based on memories and family legends from my grandfather's life,  reaching from the 1870s to the 1950s.  Hopefully the next story will soon find publication, too!
