    I received notification today from Toucan Magazine in Chicago that they have accepted both the poem "Sex With Strangers" and the story "The Love Tap". They say this is a first for them to publish two works by one author at the same time. Yay!

    This will be my first time in print after many years and I am so grateful to JLD for the constant encouragement.

    Many thanks to Liz and Laura, Toucan Editrices.

    Fabulosa, MaryAnne! I was surprised to see your announcement -- you write so fluidly I assumed you got pubbed all the time! A hearty congrats, and please give us the links to read/buy when your words ink the page. Peace...

    Linda,
    I just got an email yesterday saying they are going to hold them for the Winter - December 1st - so they will both be in the same issue with some kind of tribute for being first author to accomplish same. Will definitely give links. . .Thank you for consistently reading and commenting. You all helped me do this. Mar

    I just got an email from Toucan on Saturday saying they are going to hold the poem and story for the Winter Issue - December 1st - so they will both be in the same issue with some kind of tribute for being first author to accomplish same. Seems so far away, but I am trying to be patient. Will definitely give links. . .Thanks to the fictionaut family for consistently reading and commenting. You all helped me do this. Mar
