Publication of "Buried Memories"

For those of you who might remember, my short story, "Buried Memories", which won the Stockton Arts Commission 1st Place Award for Fiction in 2007, it is being published in Artifact in March. It's a strange story for me because it was the first romance I ever wrote under my own name (I've written a few under another name). The uniqueness of this story was that it fit more into the kinds of stories I tend to write under my own name, those that have some type of psychological twist to them. This one involves the story of a man who has finally been forgiven for betraying her 20 years ago. The story is told backwards in time in five year installments, leading to their date before they are to be married. The story also follows the continual growth of a tree they planted on the day of their marriage.

The next year, in 2008, I received 2nd place for my short story, "Simple Girl", which is a psychological study of what it means to be "simple" in a small town.
