Hi all, I know how hard it is to lose a parent. I try to find a way to honor their legacy. Here is a simple one that I thought you might be interested in . Please feel free to share this with others you know. I am including a call for submission request. This is an anthology. It is along the lines of Chicken Soup, A Cup of Comfort or many other similar series of books. The stories are meant to be inspirational. Gerry has a whole series of books planned. I had a story published in his last book about fathers. All of the stories accepted are about deceased members, hence the title. You give up all rights, but after a point I am sure he would negotiate a reprint. This is a legit group. Please check them out. There will be many opportunities for stories in the future. I'll keep you posted as he notifies me. Dara Dara, We are now accepting submission requests for "Our Mothers Who Art In Heaven". Please refer you and your fellow writers to: http://murak.blogs.com/ourfatherswhoartinheaven/2005/08/how_to_submit_y.html To see a sample "Our Mothers Who Art In Heaven" story, (written by my wife) please visit: http://www.murak.blogs.com/ourmotherswhoartinheaven Thank you for your interest.
