Sylvia Bowman's collected poems were published ten years ago by a now defunct press, and several have appeared in New Millennium Writings. Fiction caught her interest more recently when she judged entries for the annual PNWA contest. She writes short-shorts (one published online by Musepapers)and has two novels in process. She writes for several hours each morning before the rest of her small northwest town wakes up, before her rescue dog demands a walk, and before the second pot of coffee is quite empty.
