I submitted another essay titled Tiny Golden Feet in January 2006 for an edited book.  I recieved a phone call on May 12th, 2006 to let me know it was accepted.  I will get two free copies of the book and $100 for my efforts.  This is my first “real” publication in that I will be paid.  I learned a great deal about the process of publication, mostly that I have a lot more to learn.
