If you want to read my AWP Intro Journal Award-winning story “Panchita’s Sea Lion,” you can buy the Summer 2006 issue of The Colorado Review or you can check out my new Scribd profile, where I’ve put up a creative commons PDF version of it to read. (On the off chance that you want to buy a copy of that issue The Colorado Review, I have some. Let me know.)
The story is about the protagonist of my novel Sliver of Light (which I’m still shopping around)–the novel is mostly about her as a teenager. This story is a more fleshed-out version of an incident from when she was a child alluded to in the novel.
It’s also a part of a series of stories I’ve been writing called Interior Scenes, which are about people living in stifling conditions — literally or metaphorically or both.
