In response to your e-mail I am wondering if you have my stories, Apogee, Broken News, and Pickle listed for your Very Short Fiction Award. Thank you for your time. This gives me an opportunity to send along some bio, which, having the brains of a hen in matters of computers, I forget when submitting. My fiction has appeared in a variety of places ranging from The Yale Review (twice), The Virginia Quarterly Review, Seventeen (three times), Twilight Zone, other journals and an e-zine put out by the MIT Science Fiction Club. Forthcoming: in 20th Century by Pig Iron Press. All the quarterly pieces were cited in Best American Short Stories. I hope you already have my work. It would mean a lot to me to be in glimmertrain. Though I have lived most of my life in Seattle and love my home here, my work has been published in the East, the South, and the Midwest, but never in the West. It would be wonderful to make my West Coast debut in glimmertrain. If you've already received the manuscripts. thank you for the reading. Thanks again for the time and for your interest in stories. Best Wishes, Liz
