  4. Congratulations to Karla, the winner of Joining the Military. Your librarian will be so happy. Thanks for posting about the writer's conference. I'm sure it will be excellent, but too far away for me.

  6. I attended an earlier conference organized through The Writer's Plot and it was superb. Pam Zollman knows lots of talented, helpful people. The presentations I have heard by Pam, Edie Melson and Vonda Skelton were excellent. All three women have taught me important principles and enriched my life.
