So, I've heard of flash mobs, especially those coordinated via social media. You know, someone sets up cameras and invites strangers and friends alike to converge on a location and 'spontaneously' break out in some mass activity, like dancing to a song, or participating in some act of kindness, or dare I point out the one reenacting a famous scene from When Harry Met Sally.
I came across a call for entries in a flash fiction contest sponsored by Wisconsin Public Radio, the Center for the Humanities, and Wisconsin Institute for Discovery. The story has to fall between 500-600 words. I entered the contest with a story I called Revival of Spirit, clocking in at 597 words. Three winners will be chosen by famed science fiction author Kim Stanley Robinson, and their entries will be dramatized into three-minute radio plays to be directed by actress Gates McFadden, best known for her role as Dr. Beverly Crusher on Star Trek: The Next Generation. How cool would that be!? Winners to be announced April 9th.
I still have not heard back from the magazine regarding my first novel, Noah's Custodian. I've begun formatting it for self-publication on Amazon for distribution on its Kindle platform. I'm actually getting excited about finally getting it out there, even if I do it myself.
