FOR KEEPS

For Keeps is a new amd vital anthology that was edited by Victoria Sackheim, a teacher at UCLA online. Another familiar name in the anthology is Caroline Leavitt, one of UCLA's fiction teachers. And my essay,The Teardrop, also included, was cited in a review in the San Francisco Chronicle. I'm breathing on my fingernails and rubbing them against my blouse. That's an old-fashioned way to show pride.
