Writer sighting - good omen on way home

I had a really good omen yesterday on my flight home as author David Baldacci - was sitting in first class just a few rows in front of me. I've seen him before in person, in about 2008 when the Northern Virginia Review published 3 of my stories,Black Rice, Beast and 53 Red Roses, in consecutive years and he came to present the prize, to that year's winner Barbara Esstman. Three years before that my novella Black Rice and my art entry Lady Vanda won Best in Show. Kyi May
