LDon't forget to register for the WriterCon Cruise. Our reserved room block is running out. Take advantage of the rookm discounts while you can. You’ll get over 20 hours of writing instruction, scheduled when the boat is at sea, not when you’d rather get off and go see the icecaps melt. It’s May 31-June 7 leaving from Seattle. For more info, please visit our website. I’ll leave a link in the show notes. If you have any questions, just email.
Let me also remind you that my novel Challengers of the Dust has just been released. This is set in 1935 Dust Bowl Oklahoma. Two young men are forced to perform an impossible mission—find a local bigwig’s wayward daughter—which sends them on a cross-country journey during which they meet many Depression-era people, including the famous or soon-to-be famous. Change of pace, but I hope a lot of fun and a good read, especially for those interested in the Great Depression, WWII era, the period that literally transformed America. In a good way.
Until next time, keep writing, and remember: You cannot fail, if you refuse to quit.
