> and a short story in You Have Times for This: Contemporary American  
> Short-Short Stories, edited by Mark Budman and Tom Hazuka (Ooligan  
> Press.) I also recently found out that my short story Collateral  
> received a Special Mention in the latest Pushcart Prize.

> My novel Self Storage comes out in paperback in a couple of weeks  
> and I have a few events planned; you can find them on my blog  
> (http://gaylebrandeis.blogspot.com).  Among the events is a benefit  
> concert I am co-organizing to raise funds for a local family  
> tragically affected by domestic violence (the mother was killed by  
> the father; the father was killed by the police, who also shot the  
> 5 year old daughter in the process. The girl and her 3 year old  
> brother are now being raised by their grandmother and need a lot of  
> help.) The evening will include a silent auction; if anyone on the  
> faculty would like to donate a signed book, it would be greatly  
> appreciated. They can leave the signed copies in my box or track me  
> down. The event takes place from 7-9pm on Friday, February 22nd,  
> and will include my first public belly dance performance in 14 years!
