“One Trick Pony,” my short story about the horrific making of the movie Jesse James (1939), has been nominated for a Pushcart Prize by Ashland Creek Press, which anthologized the story in Among Animals 3.

The Pushcart Prize: Best of the Small Presses series, published every year since 1976, is one of the most honored literary projects in America, collecting the finest work from small literary magazines across the nation.

This is my fourth Pushcart nomination, and the second for “One Trick Pony.”

My short story manuscript, Horse Show, made the long list for the Santa Fe Writers’ Project’s annual Literary Award, judged this year by Deesha Philyaw.

Although the MS didn’t make the shortlist, making the long list means the book stood out among more than 2,000 entries!

Good job, Horse Show. >pat pat<
