NOB HILL--Here's a copy of an email and reply between Tribune Editor Phil Casaus and me.
I don't know how many of you read MJ Wilde's column(s) in the Trib, but if you didn't get a chance before, it is almost too late. Here are the columns that won her the award:

The American Society of Newspaper Editors announced the awards over a year ago and all award winners were compiled in the book, Best Newspaper Writing 2005.
I'm such a dummy, I didn't know any of this happened. But what really bugs me is this: whatever happened to M.J. Wilde? I'll email somebody else to see if more information is available. Meanwhile, read a column or two. You won't regret it.

Say, I was just looking for her too. It seems like she fell off the face of the earth. Unless she's still singing downtown, but I can't tell if the schedules online are current or not.
Did you ever find out anything more?
I can assure you I have not fallen off the face of anything. I'm still writing and still singing. In fact, for a small fee, I can send you a demo of my music.
You can email M.J. Wilde (that would be me), with questions or comments at:

I'm in the process of creating my own website and will let you all know when it's up and running.
Thanks for thinking of me,
M.J.
I was wondering about if she fell off of face the earth, would be this true, I don't now but I haven't seen her too much times , I REALLY want to thanks for this information.
