Wilderness House Literary Review--I'm Baaack

Steve Glines, Editor in Chief, WHLR

I'm back reading fiction for Wilderness House Liteary Review, run by Steve Glines .  The chain went, Irene Koronas, who was there as Poetry Editor resigned after six years. Teisha Dawn Twomey moved from Fiction Editor to Poetry Editor, and I was asked to replace her.

I was the fiction editor there from 2008-2010.  There is some great works of fiction which I loved and was proud to publish.
