The Inner Bean

I’m excited to announce that in the last 12 days I have had two of my stories accepted for publication.  Both stories are creative nonfiction memoirs.  The first to be accepted is titled “Manhunt,” and recaps a romantic game of flashlight tag from my youth.  It will appear in the January 2009 edition of Watershed: The Journal of the Susquehanna.

Last night I received notification that another creative nonfiction piece I wrote about my daughter growing up titled, “I Do Believe in Faeries” is going to be published in the November 2008 edition of MotherVerse Magazine.  Check out their page for subscription information!

I’m very excited. I haven’t written many memoirs since graduation, but both of these publications has me a little itchy and I think it may be just what the writer’s block doctor ordered to get he creative juices flowing again.

I’ve been absent for a couple of weeks due to starting a new remote position with Mahalo , who I have worked for remotely for since last August. Currently I am working on pages for Halloween, all kinds of fantastic costume information and ideas, party tips and retailers, origins and customs. It’s been a lot of fun and really gotten me into the spooky spirit.

Some of my favorite pages from the last couple of weeks include

Halloween Crossword Puzzles,

Halloween Poems

Halloween Customs

Halloween Pranks

Also, being pagan I have had the opportunity to add a lot of Pagan resource pages to the database, and was excited to build the Mahalo page for Samhain .

I have done everything on Mahalo from greenhouse working and mentoring to building How To pages, and I’m excited now to be  a part of the RFTG team, building great pages for the Halloween season.
