I have had the honor to have a short story, "The 'Muse'-ings of an Author's Cat" accepted for publication in the anthology, Crumbs in the Keyboard: Courageous Women Juggling Life and Writing, due out June 2002.  This is a great cause and am proud to have been able to contribute.  Here's a little bit of information on the project.

Founder and Editor, Pamela Johnson and her partner/co-Editor, Sher Hames Torres report they have collected over 96+ essays from over eighty authors for the charitable project.  The Crumbs Project was started three years ago, when Johnson-then a new writer-had asked her online writing groups tips of how to juggle life and writing. The tragic death of Nancy Richards-Akers in that same year led to the implementation of combining essays to encourage authors in writing and donate proceeds from such a compilation to a women's shelter
or national domestic abuse organization. Since the addition of Echelon Press to the project and the generosity of a well-known author, the Crumbs Project has grown to include the enthusiastic support of authors from all parts of the globe. Crumbs in The Keyboard is slated for a late spring 2002 release in trade paperback, and will be presented in an awards ceremony at the World Romance Conference in June 2002.
