I’m very pleased to announce that I won the West Virginia Writers 2015 Annual Writing Contest in the Nonfiction category with my piece Marybelle.
Marybelle is a memoir of Vietnam and my fourth-grade year.
The story is special to me and I’m very pleased, and honored, that it won.

I recall numerous Marybelles, Marks and Johns…myself. As time goes by the details become a little more blurry, the “scars” remain. Thank you.
Thank you!
