CCF Bulletin 5:1
Volume 5, Issue 1
 The past few months have been busy ones. I attended two
excellent writers conferences, the Pikes Peak Writers Conference and the RMC-SCBWI Spring Workshop where I taught a session on,
"Websites, Blogs, and Platform Building." The teaching was well received and
I've been asked by our regional coordinator to schedule another session
sometime this year.
