Ojai WordFest Writers Conference

Mar.13.2012

The small town of Ojai in Southern California is hosting its second annual writers conference, Ojai WordFest. The first year was a success and I'm sure 2012 will be, too.

I have the honor of giving readings on March 25th at 2pm and March 27th at 1 pm at the local Ojai Library. On the 25th, I'll be reading from my novella, The Clean Slate Accord, and on the 27th, from my women's fiction/historical novel, A Woman's Way. Since both stories have very strong female protogonists, I thought it's a great way to celebrate National Women's Month in March. Good timing!
