T-zero Xpandizine is proud to announce these WVU members who have gained recognition in their writing achievements.

Joanne Oemig has been published in The Musical Family. Her article, Raising Well-Rounded Musical Children, is the leading story. Joanne explained how she nabbed this job. "An editor for The Musical Family Magazine spotted two of my articles online and asked if I would consider joining their staff as a writer. So far they have purchased three articles from me. My first article was just published March 30. The magazine is in the prototype phase on the Internet and will be going into hard copy circulation soon. I'll be writing humorous articles for them on various aspects of music education. It's definitely exciting getting published for the first time. I joined WVU more than a year ago and had no aspirations of anything besides just writing for fun and friendship." Joanne is a member of WVU's Crime and Punishment study group.

Dee Walmsley, a WVU Lifetime Member, won the Donald Grant DeMan Short Story Writing Contest sponsored by Inditer.com. Read Dee's winning entry, Possum in the Park, in the archives of The National Library of Canada. Dee developed two WVU Nature Writing courses which she facilitated a number of times and is involved in the Nature Lovers study group.

The Hit, written by T.K. Harris, was published last month at MysteryNet.com. T.K. said, "This is my first published and paid story so that's kind of exciting, especially since it was the first real 'mystery' type story I've ever written. I had two goals this year. One was to be paid/published. The other was to be paper published. Since this story was ezine, I haven't reached my second goal." Although The Hit is no longer available online, T.K. had another story recently accepted in MysteryNet.com's Twist section. Its publication date is not yet known. Active in the Time Trading Nortonians Rule study group, T.K. has been a WVU member since August, 2000.

Korie Beth Brown has been published in the June issue of Lynx magazine. View Korie's three poems, a ghazal, Watching The 101 South, a haibun, Eaton Canyon At Noon and a tanka,~!~ at Solo Poets. Korie Beth has been a WVU member since last September and is active in the Crime and Punishment study group.

Rie Sheridan, facilitator of WVU's Giving Constructive Feedback course and member of the Binary Bards study group, has sold her novel "The Blood That Binds" to Novel Books, Inc. It will be available in both electronic and print-on-demand format in December 2001. Rie is a Lifetime Member of WVU.

T-zero extends its hearty congratulations to Joanne Oemig, Dee Walmsley, T.K. Harris, Korie Beth Brown and Rie Sheridan and sends best wishes for many more publishing successes.
