I should perhaps announce that my short story “The Assassination of a Ghost” won an honorable mention for literary excellence in this year’s Lorian Hemingway Short Story Contest.
I admit I did brag about it to Ms. Treisman at The New Yorker and to my family, but I’m told I’m not supposed to think it’s bad manners to mention it to other people, once, and then not again. So there it is.
A certain someone was so proud, he called me at work to tell me about it.
Congratulations!
Good for you! Glad you’re continuing to write. We need to get together again soon.
