Second story chosen for publication

Got a call tonight letting me know I had misunderstood an email I recieved last week, but it's the kind of misunderstanding I like. The Northridge Review will not only publish "Text Messages That Came With the Cellphone" (see last post) in the fall but will also publish "return of the orchards." Rock! "return of the orchards" is an experimental fiction story I wrote for a fiction class and a story I grew to like as I wrote and rewrote. My instructor thought it shared some elements of Stein's "Tender Buttons", though certainly not the mastery of that work. "Tender Buttons" is an amazingly fresh read, considering it was written almost a century ago! At any rate, "return of the orchards" is irreverent and scatalogical...and what more can you ask?
