In the Visalia Times Delta’s weekend edition, July 16/17 2016, I have my first paid-for published article.  I’ve had several other items appear in the print edition of the paper, but they’ve all been either letter to the editor submisisons, commentary editorials, or blog posts that were published.  This is the first time I’ve been paid to have something appear in the paper, and it was at their suggestion.

Since it’s probably difficult to read these images, here’s a link to the Visalia Times Delta’s online version of the article.  If you’ve used up your free visits for the month, you can see a back-up copy, here.

Of course, the best option, and one I heartily suggest, is to grab a copy (or two) of the printed paper at your local news stand.

I should probably start thinking about what I’ll say in my Pulitzer Prize acceptance speech.
