A couple weeks ago, I was honored to receive first prize in a short story contest judged by the F. Scott Fitzgerald Literary Conference of Rockville, MD. As you may or may not know, Fitzgerald spent a large portion of time in Rockville and is buried with Zelda and his daughter in St. Mary's Cemetery. Here I was invited to give a short talk about my winning story, "Accumulator," my inspiration and research.
Also, I met the 2014 FSFLC Award winner, James Salter!
