An Oscar-Like Moment

"This is a huge milestone for my travel writing!" I explode to Mutti while tearing through this month's Preview magazine to find the Lincolnshire article. On my list of "top 20 things to do before I die" was getting something, anything I wrote or would write, published - be it in book form, newspaper, magazine or any medium, for that matter. And today is that day. How exciting! The magazine is written, edited and published in the town of Easthampton, close to the hippy little college town of Northampton, Mass. The monthly publication is a glossy, full-color look at the life, arts and culture of Western Massachusettes and the Berkshires. An editor came across the Lincolnshire article while surfing through GoNomad.com. Naturally, Max and Kent's beautiful stories are no stranger to reprints but this is my first time and given the respect and appreciation I have for published writers, you can imagine my euphoria today. I feel like accepting an Oscar for this recognition... "And I'd also like to thank GoNomad for this opportunity...without their inspiration I wouldn't be here today..." Clap, clap, clap, clap. It doesn't appear that Preview Magazine maintains a website but you can easily pick up a copy (if you happen to live around these parts) in any one of these idyllic little towns.
