Just checked the final results of the 2008 Readers Poll sponsored by the Preditors and Editors site. Pretty exciting. Thank you to everyone who voted for my stories, all three that were nominated finished in the Top Ten.
In the category for general shorts: Stranger on the Porch tied for sixth place and Dani-Girl’s Guide to Getting Everything Right tied for 10th. 
In the category for science fiction shorts: The Breach tied for sixth place.
