I sold a story to Glimmer Train.

Ann Patchett will host a "Best American" evening with Symphony Space. She has selected three stories from the BASS 2006 anthology -- among them "Refresh, Refresh" -- to be read by actors and recorded for their Selected Shorts series. If you're interested in knowing more, here's the link--http://symphonyspace.org/-- the event is listed under "Literature." Can't wait.
