My writer friends, Alice Mattison, Leslie Connor, and I are giving an all-day writing conference together, and I couldn’t be more excited. If you’re anywhere near Fairfield, Connecticut on April 5, and you want to get a chance to talk about writing all day long…please come!
Here’s the notice about it that the organizer, Carol Dannhauser, has sent around:
Calling All Writers
You’re invited to a daylong writing conference
in Fairfield with three top authors!!

Separated: Connected Stories, among other works, and an instructor at the
graduate writing program at Bennington College
Sandi Kahn Shelton, fiction and non-fiction writer whose contemporary
novel A Piece of Normal was selected as the Target book of the month
Leslie Connor, whose works include the much-acclaimed young adult
novel Waiting for Normal.
Together, the trio has published literary fiction, short stories,
contemporary fiction, non-fiction, magazine articles, essays, poetry, children’s

That sounds like so much fun! Wish I could go. I live in a very rural area, so not a lot of conferences around here. Have fun with this one!

Wow! How I wish I lived even remotely near Connecticut, but alas I am here on the eastern fringes of the midwest. Although I love this whole blogging thing as a way to interact with other writers, sometimes I get this hankering to actually see a real person, you know?
Anyway, just wanted to say I love your blog - don’t remember how I found it, but you always make me smile.
I’m adding all your books to my TBR list ASAP

Thanks for sharing at the writers conference in Fairfield. You are indeed rollicking in your depiction on children and how they interrupt your day. Even at 430 am. Thanks for insight. Have fun with your writing .
