Subsequently he has seen over 300 of his poems, short stories, novels, non-fiction works, letters, plays, essays, and reviews published. Mr. Walker has won a Flannery O’Connor Award for A Slow Bus Ride to a Shallow Grave; a Thomas Wolfe Short Story Contest award for Earsounds; a New Century Writer Ray Bradbury Fellowship award for Watched; a Kernodle New Play award for Kenu Hear the Wild Birds Sing?; A McLaren Memorial Comedy Play Writing award for, Screeches from the Zoo; and he has twice won awards in the Writer's Digest Competitions, once in the Stage Play Category for Abide with Me, and again in short story competition for La Mer. He’s a member of the Dramatists Guild and his plays have been performed throughout the USA and Europe. You can email him at scotwalker2004@yahoo.com or search the internet.

      We learned that Venetian men always walked around these two pillars—since they marked the place of execution in ancient times.

      We then continued on to St. Mark’s Cathedral.

      As the group headed off to buy souvenirs, I climbed to the next level and stood next to these magnificent horses. They were the largest equestrians until the nineteenth century—only President Grant’s statue on a horse in Washington, DC, is bigger today! Ironically, when I got home and started my next year of teaching I picked up our eighth grade literature book and there was a picture of Venice with those same four horses on the cover.
