Welcome to the website of writer and editor Julie Wakeman-Linn. Come in and take a look. Links are to your right, news below. Thanks for coming!
My year of writing by the Indian Ocean is ending and it has been amazingly productive despite being under heavy assault by life. I’ve had three stories accepted, created an anthology and published it, and my first novel, Chasing the Leopard Finding the Lion will be launched this month.
Two stories have appeared this spring. JMWW brought out "In Service" and invited me to guest blog at Origins . My first-completely conceived-drafted-revised and now published Tanzanian story, "True to tails abandoned" just came out with Devilfish Review. It's African but magic realism and a bit naughtly.
The Bethsaida Book, stories written by my students, came out in mid-October. I'm beyond thrilled that this special project is coming to fruition. "Their Voices; Their Stories" is available through Amazon or ABC or you can email me. Buy a copy, buy several. Through a generous donation by BancABC, it is a fund-raiser for Bethsaida Secondary School for Orphan Girls..
Writing news?
Issue 50 Best of Potomac Review was my July task. I did all the final edits. It has landed back in Potomac Review headquarters and I hear that it is beautiful. Order your copy and see what a wonderful retrospect it is.
Danse Macabre published out my "Fire and Ice" last May.
In addition to my blog, Gecko Tails, I guest blogged again for Leslie Pietrzyk’s wonderful blog. I'll post the link as soon as it goes live. This time, my topic was saying farewell to writing by the Indian Ocean.
Here's the link to the first, kick off blog Work-in-Progress.: Guest in Progress: Julie Wakeman-Linn on Creating a Writing Life in Africa. .
You can revisit the Tanzanian adventure through my blog, Gecko tails. It even has a subscribe button. The Serengeti and Ngorogoro safari photos are also on my Facebook page Julie Wakeman-Linn If you aren't my "friend", go ahead and friend me to follow the news.
