Anasazi Magic published in October Boatman's Quarterly Review (BQR), two other stories win awards!

Ok. I get to brag once in a while. Better than whining when I keep getting rejections, no?

Go to the Grand Canyon River Guide's Association website and become a member to read the Boatman's Quarterly Review http://www.gcrg.org/bqr.php

It's a great way to read my article, not to mention support the activities of the GCRG. Or check the archives of this blog; "I Can't Make This Shit Up!" Anasazi of the Grand Canyon.

This story has been brewing in my spirit for over 15 years, tearing me up. After the marketing manager at OARS innocently requested an article on the Anasazi for the 2012 OARS catalogue, http://www.oars.com/, It came pouring out. Hope you like it.

As for the awards, I won the "Bad Trip, Gold Winner" prize at The Solas Awards Best Travel Writing site; http://www.besttravelwriting.com/btw-blog/great-stories/bad-trip-gold-winner-sinyala-fault/#comments

That story is also on my Home page: Sinyala Fault.

Another award from the Traveler's Tales site was the Editor's Choice for Best Travel Writing: http://www.besttravelwriting.com/btw-blog/great-stories/bad-trip-gold-winner-sinyala-fault/#comments for the tale: Beyond Thunder, which is also available on my site here: "Beyond Thunder"


Yippee. And I will be spending some time this winter self-publishing some of my stories on Amazon. Stay tuned. Its all starting to happen. As my colleague Bruce Keller likes to say about life and boating: "You know you're committed when your legs are up in the air".
