The heights of today were insomnia well into the night and walking to work in a thunderstorm. Better things were to come along, however, in the form of the news that my story “A Big Enough Army” has won second place in the Toronto Star Short Story Contest. The story will be published soon and I’ll link to it online when that happens.

i am pleased as punch for you! i can’t help but think of when anne shirley won the rolling’s reliable competition knowling full well it’s nothing like that. you are already a literary legend of your time. and mine for that matter.
Erin thought it was more like when Booky won the essay contest in The Toronto Telegraph. But either comparison is flattering. Thank you!
