Many of you know that my sister is a writer. She is a good writer. She is not yet “famous”, but I will agree with what my son said years ago, “she is famous in some places!”
She was the featured poet for Scifaikuest Magazine in November. We were all blessed to receive a copy for Christmas, though some of the more special people had their copies signed! (the kids) But what I think is even cooler than that is she has been recently playing with a new poetic form. It is based on the Sudoku format using three words in different positions without repeating in any row or column. She has developed this poetic format and had an article and poem submission accepted for a publication next spring! I am always lucky to see some of her writing before it goes to print. I may not always “get it”, but I know she is really getting good at what she does!
If you would like to enjoy some of her writing, you can find her online at Shelly’s Place. You can also order a copy of scifaikuest at this link. The magazine is located near the bottom of the page.

Hey, thanks for the plug!! I am lucky to have a sister who will read it even when it isn’t entirely “her thing” — and will even list the magazines as a hit!
Thanks for the encouraging words. I just finished working out my writing goals for 2009, so it is nice to get a pat on the back from you as I prepare to get to work on achieving them!
