Happy New Year to all writers!
I'm vacationing in Florida this week so I've abdicated all responsibility, including a timely post. Today we went to Universal and I walked 23,000 steps!
But I'm especially excited to share that my short story was selected for the next IWSG anthology, Masquerade: Oddly Suited.
When I first learned of the anthology's young adult romance / masquerade theme, a vision of smoldering blue eyes behind a catcher's mask came to me. I built on that image to write a YA sports romance involving a baseball catcher and a softball pitcher.

Congratulations on making it into the anthology, and I can't wait to read your story! I used to be a softball pitcher when I was younger, so the premise of your story speaks to me.
And look at your rocking the steps!
Nick, thank you! I'm psyched.
Many thanks, Alex! Needless to say, I loved the theme.
Thank you, Natalie. The weather couldn't be better this trip.
CD, I learned that phrase "the blue" while watching The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel (love that show). Happy to be in the anthology together!
L. Diane, thank you for judging and for that lovely compliment.
Happy New Year!
Fundy, excited and proud for sure. Hope your 2019 is off to a great start.
Yet another batch of great stories from our pool of talented IWSG authors!
Happy New Year!
Thank you, Michelle! I tried to leave a comment on the IWSG blog but I'm having problems commenting lately. Happy New Year to you.
