CavanKerry Press has selected PRIMARY LESSONS as their "New Voices" publication for 2012. PRIMARY LESSONS is "book one" of my memoirs and covers the time from my early years in Philadelphia, PA through 1963, when I graduated from high school in Sumter, SC.

I have traveled a long road to this oasis, and I'm thrilled that my mss. stood out among the hundreds they must have received during their February 2011 "open-submissions-from-memoirists" period. Look for more details as I get them.
