Tis the season for fun and games and places to go, people to see, and things to do. (in between I still have to write and edit.)
This weekend, Saturday April 28, 2012, I and a bunch of other local genre authors will attend a 1 day conference at Portland State University "Write to Publish" sponsored by Olligan Press.
