I had a wonderful time at the 2022 Pikes Peak Writers Conference, April 28-May 1. It was so great to meet again in person, Post-COVID. I ran into many old friends and made some wonderful new ones. The presentations and speakers were fabulous! But most of all, it was great to hang out with my good friend and Critique Group-mate, Christina Simpson. It was her first conference.
The “Read and Critique” session was a lot of fun. I presented the first page of my new novel manuscript, Bits of Hell. (Fortunately, people laughed in the right places.) And the “Query 1-on-1” sessions were very well run. (I got a request for the full manuscript of Bits of Hell! Christina also got a request for chapters of her fabulous novel manuscript, The Flower Maiden. At her FIRST conference. Well done, Christina!
A third member of our Critique Group, Barb Needell Preslier, joined us Friday evening for the book signing of the 2021 and 2022 Pikes Peak Writers Anthology. Great fun!
