Janet's Back!

I feel really blessed, because I've been able to work with such great editors. One of my favorite editors purchased another Janet and Christy short story. Janet is loosely based on a mentally challenged neighbor who used to live next door to me. She'd knock on my door at least three times a week and want me to help her with small tasks such as help her make her bed, search her apartment for a lost item, or take her shopping for shoestrings. I have fun writing these characters, since all I have to do is let my mind wander back to the days when my neighbor would bang on my door and yell loud enough for the whole neighborhood to hear, "Melissa, I know you're in there!"


"Hot Dogs and Hot Heads" will be published in ENCOUNTER—The Magazine in January of '09.
