I was honored by the Union County (N.C.) Writers Club with a second-place award for fiction in their annual competition. This award brought the opportunity to give a dramatic reading of my short story "Winter Runway" last evening.

This club is one of many local groups that help to keep an interest in writing alive at the local level.  They are co-hosting the 5th Carolina Writers Conference on April 20, 2013. Those who are nearby might want to give this conference a visit. You can find information at www.carolinawritersconference.org.
