Reader's Digest contacted me today to let me know they wish to use an excerpt from one of my stories in their October issue of Our Canada, one of their publications, as part of a promo for a new contest they are launching. I submitted the story about a year and a half ago and had all but given up on it.
And a real estate developer is purchasing some of my images of Crofton for his website and other promo materials for a four storey retirement condo he is building here. (This achievement is somewhat bittersweet and ironic - the complex he is building will obliterate most of the ocean view I currently enjoy from my back porch!)
Just had to share with my blogger friends. I am pumped!

Congratulations Jean. I get the Reader's Digest so I'll be looking forward reading your article.
Cheers, Barbara
Good on you Jean, that is fantastic and exciting!
Haven't been here in a while and it was oh so very nice to read your happy news!
Many congratulations, you deserve it, you're photos are gorgeous and your writing is to be envied. Well done!
That is really great, Jean! I agree with the others who wrote here - your writing and photos are worthy of a wider audience.
Great news to have your writing and photography acknowledged on the same day, Jean, and well-deserved for sure!
VERY cool! Great news though the loss of your view will indeed be bittersweet eh
Congratulations, Jean! That's worth 2 separate brag posts! Are you sure you want to support that developer who's going to obliterate your ocean view though? I would be sulking over that myself. Will you post that excerpt of your story for us to read? X
Congratulations Jean! Your writing and photography certainly deserve compensated publication.
Too bad about the view, but at least you're just a short stroll from the beach.

Barbara, as I understand it, the excerpt will be in Our Canada magazine, which is one of Reader's Digest's many alternate publications, not the Canadian version of the magazine actually named "Reader's Digest".
