Today is the Autumnal Equinox which just so happens to be the day that Mused – BellaOnline’s Literary Review just released its newest issue…which includes a non-fiction story by me.

You might note that my story title has a “2″. While this story is a stand alone piece, it does follow the theme of finding the meaning of “independent” that began in my previous publication with Mused in Spring 2008 – the original Miss Independent.
