The Writing Life Too

The sky is promising rain and I need to prep for my afternoon critique group and toss a load of laundry into the washing machine. I just wanted to post a few updates here from the writing life.

First, Jennie Shortridge's When She Flew is now available. I've posted a review at amazon and in my November newsletter. She's going to be at Powells in Portland on November 12th and Annie Blooms on the 23. For her full schedule go to her website.

Also, Hallie Ephron has a new book,
The Bibliophile's Devotional. For more information on Hallie and her books go to http://www.hallieephron.com/ Hallie's smart as a whip(although as I write this, I'm wondering where that expression came from. The crack the whip makes in the air?) and her books and insights are always worthwhile.

Finally, for Portland-area writers- Writers in the Grove Present:
