A couple of nice things have fluttered down to me, like little butterflies of happiness.

First of these, I was accepted to perform at Fall Folk Festival in November. It seems from the email format that I should have received this news earlier, but that’s fine. I can look forward to reading Lucy D. Ford’s work on November 8th or 9th, 2025.

Second of these, during the back-to-school staff training, the librarian let me know she wants to buy the Cleodora duology (Acorn Canyon and Willow Lake). I had loaned her the books during the last few weeks of the 2024-25 school year and she didn’t return them. Which I was irritating. But, she read them over the summer and they are appropriate for the school library, so all is forgiven!

Also, a submission window opened this week. I threw my short story “Curse Maker” through it. Let’s see if my lucky streak can continue!
