I have been hired as a staff member for speculative ezine Reflection's Edge (www.reflectionsedge.com).  I will write book reviews and the occasional non-fiction article.  I am very excited to have this opportunity.  Please visit RE to check out my current work.

• The Harrow:  Read my review of the anthology Bound in Skin. http://www.theharrow.com/journal/index.php/journal/article/view/2535/745 
• Want to hobnob with published writers and agents looking for new talent?  Then you should attend the DFW Writers Conference at the Grapevine Convention Center, February 23 -24.  It is sponsored by the DFW Writers' Workshop a group that has helped me to grow as a writer.  Full details are available at http://www.dfwwritersconference.org/register/index.asp

March

• Look for my article in North Texas Kids.  Currently titled "Are There Birthdays After a Divorce?" it is an essay describing how I managed my sons' birthdays following the death of their mother.  The editor gave me one of the best comments I've gotten so far calling the work "both sad and beautiful".

April

• Look for my article in Writer's Digest.  "Back Up Your Work for Free" should appear in the Inkwell section of the magazine.  
• Look for another article in North Texas Kids.  Currently titled "Local Mother Turns Dinner-Time Children's Game into Publishing Dream" it tells the story of Sonya Shannon, the editor of a small, local publishing house.  Check them out at http://www.catscuriouspress.com.
