Planning to attend HippoCamp2016 in August, a special conference on Creative Non-Fiction, which is the genre of my just published Dear Woman of My Dreams (see my new website). Special benefit is that it is only about 18 miles from my home!
This three-day creative writing conference event features 40+ notable speakers, engaging sessions in three tracks, interactive panels, readings, social activities, networking opportunities and optional, pre-conference workshops in Lancaster, Pa., a city rich in history, arts and culture. All of this, plus meals and snacks, bundled into a great conference rate. Conference information
Hope to gain insights from this crowd of writers and promote my books as well.

Oh, my goodness, Lois. A familiar name and face in my inbox today. Your cover is lovely: you definitely resemble your mother. How fortunate that you had that diary. My blog is the launch pad for my WIP: memoir of my Lancaster County Mennonite girlhood.
I’m glad we have a connection here now. Many of my posts feature family. I’m currently working on one about Aunt Ruthie, soon to be 98, my first grade teacher and major mentor.
