FROZEN FIEFDOM 

Dedicated TO: An Unidentifed Male

During the Summer of 2007, I was driving West on the 101 freeway near Calabasas, CA.  A dark SUV was ahead of me with the words "Run Tara Run" painted on the rear window.  

 I stepped on the gas and had a good look at the driver, and his unpleasant expression.  I don't know who he is, and was most flattered that the title to my story was being seen by thousands, before it was even written!   That's the pinnacle of advance publicity, and such a display reignited the encouragement  boost for my creative thoughts.  

I had mentioned the story title and an overview of it to someone while in Juneau, AK, just a few weeks prior.  Surely it was a Miracle, or a Sign, that a complete stranger to me would just so happen to be cruising by me on a Los Angeles area freeway with my story title decorating his ride.  It was Fate!   Destiny in action!  The Mother of All Coincidences, right? 

Which sealed it for me at that moment.  Obviously, Somebody thought my story was worth talking about, and that visual reminder was just the cue I needed to be certain that"When Paula speaks, people listen."  

Thanks!  'ppreciate it.
