My friend, Nathan Crowder, recently received word that his story “Ink Calls to Ink” had been chosen for Night-Mantled: The Best of Wily Writers Year One. It also features such authors as Angel Leigh McCoy and Jennifer Brozek. A fine crowd to be mixing with.
I’ve been constantly impressed by all the accomplishments Nate’s had this year. Just prior to this he had a story appear in the anthology Close Encounters of the Urban Kind. And before that his magnificent piece “Deacon Carter’s Last Dime” not only appeared in Crossed Genres Year One, but was a finalist in the storySouth Million Writers Awards Notable Stories of 2009.
I’m really proud (and more than a little envious) of Nate’s success. He’s been an excellent friend, peer and mentor and I’m excited that he’s doing so well. Excelsior!
A geez…I’m blushing!
Some day soon, this will be you, my padawan. :)
You’ve been racking up the accomplishments too, my friend – and I’m so happy to be knowing both of you.
You are one classy fella. I can tell – I saw your classy new website. And thank you for the pimpage! :-)
Thank you!
There was a link on the previous version, too. I just never called attention to that site.
Just as long as it doesn’t involve you getting gakked by Darth Maul.
