Hat's Off!

Hats Off to Brian Greene of Durham, who has just won a short fiction contest held by Jerry Jazz Musican. Here is a link to the announcement and the story as it appears on JJM's web site. "The Notes" is part of his short story collection, which recently made me a semifinalist in the University of Iowa's annual book-length fiction contest.
