Good news! My story "Crab Lines" was chosen by novelist Jaimee Wriston Colbert to be included in the 2006 Best of the Net Anthology. "Crab Lines" will be reprinted along with five other stories and showcased for the next year on the Best of the Net website. It'll be up as of Jan. 7 at http://www.sundress.net/bestof/

And you can also always read it at The Rose & Thorn: http://www.theroseandthornezine.com/Winter05/Crablines.htm

I'm thrilled. I love, love, love the net!

Jane, Thanks for reading it. It's fiction but much of it is based on my experiences. I did learn how to crab and prepare them as a kid, but it was my Mom who taught me (not my grandma as in the story). And unlike the story, my folks didn't divorce.

Cool..you have a radio show. Loved your website!

Anno, Yep..IMHO the net is the greatest thing to happen to writers! Your work can be viewed forever and can find fans around the world. And you get to know the most interesting people. Do you write Anno?

I'm another one who loves the net. Absolutely love it and all the opportunities it presents. They are endless!

Barbar, I was raised in Baltimore, Maryland and that's not how we cook crabs. We steam them and coat them with Old Bay seasoning. We don't tkae the backs off until they are cooked.
