I Will Deliver, Mr. Junker

MANY THANKS TO ZYZZYVA founding editor Howard Junker for the recognition by putting my work alongside those of America's best writers in his anthology Strange Attraction: The Best of Ten Years of ZYZZYVA.  That faith is never forgotten even after all these years, Mr. Junker, and I will deliver on it as I face the task of writing more squarely. From Ellyn Maybe of Los Angeles ViewStrange Attraction deserves a place on every reader’s shelf.”
