I just received the rather nice news that “The Mammoth Horse Waits,” an (as yet) unpublished story of mine, has been named as the finalist in Salamander’s 2011 Fiction Contest.
The judge was National Book Award finalist Jim Shepard. The winning story was “The Aerialist” by Hester Kaplan and honorable mention went to “The Blue Demon of Ikumi” by Kelly Luce.
Thank you very much!
