Finish draft of first historical fiction short story collection. Finished draft of my first historical fiction short story collection, tentatively entitled Under the North Star. 2: Engage residents of Ely and surrounding communities in a reading of Boundary Waters, and a facilitated discussion of the issues raised in the work. Quantitative evaluation includes tracking number of audience members, qualitative evaluation includes anonymous audience surveys on story credibility and authenticity.
Finished draft of novel inspired by a short story in the collection (change approved by MSAB). Manuscript was requested by Saint Martin's Press and Kensington Publishing. I accepted offer from Kensington due to their enthusiasm for the book and publication plan. 2: Engage residents of Ely and surrounding communities in a reading of Boundary Waters, and a facilitated discussion of the issues raised in the work. The group was smaller than expected and forthcoming in their feedback, therefore, I did not need to have them fill out anonymous surveys. The story was found to be credible and authentic, even down to the specific backstories of the characters.
