"Night Watch" - a play I am in

I have been cast in a play, Night Watch, with the Evergreen Players. It's the first time I have been on stage in 7 years and I am excited beyond words to feel the sting of the lights and hear the roar of the crowd; the most natural high one can achieve...ah...entertaining the masses again - AWESOME! My role: Lt. Walker: a frustrated police lieutenant.

Flowers and gifts, as always, will not be turned away... If you need me, I'll be in my trailer...

Night Watch by Lucille Fletcher [PG]
Directed by Linda Suttle.

Unable to sleep, Elaine Wheeler paces around her living room, troubled by unsettling memories and vague fears. Her husband tries to comfort her, but when he steps away for a moment, Elaine screams as she sees the body of a dead man in the window across the way.

Honorable Mention

My short story, “The Day,” did not win The National Space Society and Hadley Rille Books Return to Luna fiction contest, bit it did receive an honorable mention.

An honor it is. And also "The Day" is a great piece of work.
