Greetings, ezwritr!

After taking a look at this site, I believe that it has not been
indexed in Google for one or both of the following reasons:

1) It has never been submitted to Google to be crawled by the
Googlebot; or
2) There are no other sites on the Internet that link to that page.
 
1) While some sites are originally found by the Googlebot because it
crawls other pages which have links to those sites and follows them,
the only way to be *sure* that the Googlebot will find a site is to
submit it to be crawled. You can do that here:
         
://www.google.com/addurl.html         
  (Be aware that it may take anywhere from 1 to 3 months for your site
to start showing up on Google; however, since Google also uses DMOZ as
a guide to its indexing efforts.)
 
2) One of the best ways to get the Googlebot to notice your site is to
try to get your URL listed on other sites which already have a Page
Rank of 4 or higher.
 
You can determine a site's Page Rank using the Google Toolbar, which
is an add-in to Microsoft Internet Explorer. You can read more about
the Toolbar, and download it, here:
<http://toolbar.google.com>    
  
Remember that links from a few ***quality*** sites with related themes
who link to only a few other pages (including yours) will do far more
to improve your Page Rank than links from one hundred other pages that
also link to hundreds of other sites.
