Merry XXX-mas



So...

My story, Holiday Hours, is going to be in this anthology.

I'm very pleased by this.

There are several things about this particular story and this particular antho that make me happy.

First off; Holiday Hours is another one of those "partially based on true events" stories. I worked a convenience store for several years while in college, so Regan's experiences in the shop closely mirror my own and allowed me to bitch, in character, about something that always bothers me. Even seventeen years after I quit that job, I still refuse to shop on a holiday.

Secondly, my friend Rob West is also on the table of contents - he neglected to tell me the name of his story earlier today when we talked... I've known Rob for a long time and I've given him quite a lot of advice. Some of it quite loudly. Despite yelling at each other about the importance of coherency in emails, we're still friends, and I'm pleased as punch to be in an anthology with him.

Third, there's the awesome title: Milf & Cookies. It really just could not get any better than this.
