I didn't make a fool of myself ala Sally Field, but I would have if they'd let me.
The print version of After the Bubbly won first place in the Mazie Cox Reid Column award at the Oklahoma Writer's Federation Conference! This was a serious accomplishment considering the judging audience isn't exactly my target demographic, as evidenced by the honorable mention, Campus Codger and the 2nd place winner Viewing Life Through Tri-Focals.
So THANK YOU to OWFI, and THANK YOU to all of you who read online and in Peekaboo!
And if you're wondering what's a Peekaboo?, it's our local family magazine here in Northwest Arkansas. They run me every month, which proves I can play nice in print. If you'd like to see the column in your local publication, please let me know and I'll do my best to get it there!
Here's a sample of recent print columns:
The Case of the Easter Bunny
New Birthday Plan: No More Kids Parties
Making Babies.... Oh the Glamour!
Cut Costs This Year, Starting With the Tooth Fairy
Garden Spiders Beware
