Name of the piece published by BCC:
When/where was it originally published:
The literary anthology, Lavanderia: A Mixed Load of Women, Wash and Word
What is the background of the piece? What led you to write it? What’s your process?
I saw a call for submissions for the anthology, perhaps in Poets & Writers, and couldn’t resist. Laundry!
It’s mundane, it’s intimate, it’s universal. I wanted a human connection with a stranger so I set the story in a laundromat rather than a residence.
How did you feel when it was first published and how have your thoughts or feelings on the piece changed from then to now?
I was happy and grateful to be included in an anthology with a community of writers showcasing wonderful work on a common theme. I’m joyful once more because the piece found new readers after being published in Bulb Culture Collective. Thank you for giving so many fabulous stories a second home.
Is there a specific message you'd like readers to take away from reading this piece?
While much of my writing is serious, this is one that I hope makes readers smile and chuckle a bit. May your laundry loads be colorful. ;)
Where can readers find more of your work? (Website/social media, etc)
I’ve published three collections of short stories available at my publisher’s website, universaltable.org, and on Amazon. Many recent stories are available in various online literary journals, findable through a simple Google search of my name.
