That essay won an AWP Intro Journals Prize for Nonfiction in 2010. In July 2012, her essay “Long Time Gone” appeared in the online literary journal Hippocampus Magazine. Currently, Sheila is writing a collection of essays with the working title My Midlife Crisis Concert Series, where she explores moments that rocked her life.
