Rochester Post Bulletin's First Annual Short Story Contest Winner 

"Llama Bells," also known as "A Season of Acceptance," was subsequently published in Seventeen Magazine, and two High School Literature Anthologies, Galaxies III in 1992 and the Bronze Prentice Hall Literature Edition of 1989.  

The entire story is reprinted from one of the anthologies in my blog.  (Click on the

A grant awarded by the Southeastern Minnesota Arts Council made it possible for the Pegasus Prose edition of BLOSSOMS &  BLIZZARDS, a self-published anthology of short stories, poems and essays by Minnesota writers such as Garrison Keillor, Jon Hassler, Carol Bly, and included C.J. Fosdick's short story, "Halley's Tonic." 

(Pegasus Prose was formed by CJ and two fellow writers who designed and edited the book and solicited the entries.)
