I'm being included in a poetry anthology for Texas authors. You can preorder it at https://www.localgemspoetrypress.com/...

It's always exciting to be chosen for an anthology. The competition can be tougher than magazines, which I've also done. But there's something special about an anthology. It screams, "High percentile!" That's because everybody submits for a single publication. With magazines, they're spread out among the different issues. "Okay, not this time, but try your luck again."

This just makes me so happy.

Until next time . . .
