Thank you, Pacific Northwest Writers Association, for choosing my adult short story, "Bakersfield Baptism" as a finalist in the 2009 Literary Contest.I love the character of that story, Gracie Mae.
When I read the work to Dominic, he cried and said, "Do you have to make it that sad?"
I do, I told him: Gracie Mae is suffering badly; the readers need to feel that.
Ironically, because of Gracie Mae's suffering, today felt really good.
