Before I forget (again)… there’s a one day writers’ conference coming up in early May that you might be interested in if you’re anywhere near Seattle. I’d tell you all about it, but Susan Wiggs (who is one of the organizers, a great storyteller and a good friend) does a much better job. Hop on over to Swiggs’s place to read all about the Field’s End Writers’ Conference . And if you do happen to make the conference, be sure to introduce yourself.
