Love to See You at the Beach and at My Writers Workshop

This is the perfect place for the many authors who frequent this blog to learn more in one place and take a vacation, too!  There are presentations, panels, agent interviews, and I'm doing this workshop.  Kathleen Kaiser is the director. If you should decide to go, be sure to introduce yourself to me. Wouldn't that be fun!
