EXPECTING GOODNESS is out from Hub City Writers Project

In 1984 a short story of mine called "Before the Chicken's Fried" won a South Carolina Fiction Project prize. Recently it was chosen by C. Michael Curtis for inclusion in Expecting Goodness: The Essential Fiction of Spartanburg, just out from Hub City Writers Project in time for Christmas.

 See below for more detail:

"When renowned fiction editor C. Michael Curtis moved from Boston to Spartanburg to accept a distinguished chair at Wofford College, he assumed he’d be far from a literary center. But Curtis, long-time fiction editor of The Atlantic magazine and self-professed “habitual anthologist,” found himself in a pocket of extraordinary writers.The venerable literary editor’s exploration of his new city has led to the publication of Expecting Goodness, a collection of twenty Southern short stories by both established and up-and-coming authors who remarkably share the same hometown."
