The Writer’s Conference is On!

The Wordcrafters In Eugene writers conference will happen March 7-9, 2014.

A lot of people are putting massive amounts of organizational energy into it. Now the website is up and we’re beginning to recruit presenters and keynote speakers.

The week before the conference, Susan Wiggs and I will hold 4-day retreats, each limited to ten attendees.

There will be hands-on, one-on-one help with your writing, a lot of fun events, amazing speakers and teachers, and as it’s the 50th anniversary of the publication of Sometimes A Great Notion, we’ll be celebrating our local literary heritage.

If you want to be a presenter, or know of someone who would fill out our roster nicely, let us know. If you want to volunteer to help, let us know. But mostly, just plan to come to Eugene at the most beautiful time of the year (not really) and join in with a bunch of other introverts to have a good time celebrating literature.

Contest! – Book Giveaway!

For the month of April, everyone who responds to my Blog or Facebook page will be entered into a contest to receive an autographed book.

I’ll be giving away one copy each of Lizzie Borden, York’s Moon,  The Northwoods Chronicles, Black Leather, The Alchemy of Love, Suspicions, and When Darkness Loves Us. (Winner to be determined by random drawing)
