I had a wonderful time at the WFWA retreat in Alexandria Virginia, October 15-19. Angie Hodapp, from the Nelson Literary Agency was our speaker. We came away with so much good information we can put into practice. I loved spending time with my writing friends that I only get to see on Zoom meetings and social media. And making new friends. The connection between writers is priceless!

Beth Anne Hill and I were thrilled to speak about women’s historical fiction and our stories in Feisty Deeds at the beautiful South Huntsville Library.
