The Greater Lehigh Valley Writer’s Group has received word that the 2021 Anthology “Writes of Passage” was awarded First Place in the 2022 Bookfest contest.
I was honored to have my short story, “Danny’s B-29” selected for the anthology.
It’s the story about a teen-ager left alone to build a swimming pool in his backyard with cement blocks, a few bags of cement and blue paint. The effort to build the pool brings out harsh memories about his best friend, Danny.
The anthology is a wonderful and varied collection of top-notch fiction, poetry and essays.
Congratulations to all the contributors, editors and organizers.
I have been writing most of my life. I am the author of the award-winning Frank Nagler Mystery series. "The Swamps of Jersey (2014); "A Game Called Dead" (2016) -- a Runner-Up in the 2016 Shelf Unbound Indie Author Contest; and "The Weight of Living" (2017) -- First Place winner for Mysteries in the Royal Dragonfly Book Awards Contest.
