My Poem's a Finalist in the Goodreads Contest!
What a nice way to wake up this morning! I checked into Goodreads to find that my poem "Are You Tough Enough to Haul Flowers?" is a finalist for this month's Goodreads Newsletter Poetry Contest. I really liked the other finalists' poems this time, too. I was delighted to find that my friend Joan Colby's poem "Anniversary Song" got an honorable mention.
Right now my poem just a vote or two behind the leader. If you're a member of the Poetry! group, or would like to become one, please go to

In other news, I'm going to be interviewed by San Francisco's Melinda Adams, otherwise known as Lilycat, on FCC Free Radio this Sunday, February 3, from noon to 2 PM Pacific time. The Program is "Lilycat on Stuff." You can tune in to listen live at http://www.fccfreeradio.com at studio 1A. Please call in with questions! It would be so great to hear your voices.
I'll also be featured at Works in Progress Women's Open Mic on Sunday, February 9, in Oakland. All women are welcome! The reading was postponed from last month because of the host's illness. Linda Zeiser is feeling better now and will offer the reading (with 8 fashion watches given away as door prizes) FREE! There's a potluck from 6:30 to 7:30, with the reading starting at 7:30 PM. Live music from singer/songwriter Melanie DeMore. Fireside Room, Plymouth United Church of Christ, 424 Monte Vista, Oakland. More details at http://www.goodreads.com/event/show/8...
