Mr. Bates. Congratulations on Spillwords awards. I see we have a lot in common – several publishers, first published (me 2014), late start (I was 71 in 2014). Tom Sheehan’s continued success at his age makes us both appear to be pups.
Ariel Chart accepted a story but never published it (there was no explanation, but I expect that they didn’t like the politics). Not going back there.

Hi Doug,
It’s great to see you. Thank you so much for getting in touch. Yes, we do seem to have a lot in common! Spillwords has been a great support for me as I have woven my way through this writing journey. Here’s wishing you all the best with your journey as well. Take Care 🙂

Some of my best success has been in FOTW, Down In The Dirt and Literally Stories. For some reason I’m more of a British writer than an American one despite living on the left coast.
