2014 San Francisco Writers Conference - February 13-17, 2014

February in San Francisco means one thing - time for the San Francisco Writers Conference. This was my third year attending and it was spectacular. Not only was I able to help out as a volunteer, but I was also able to reconnect with several friends and colleagues from the publishing industry. I was also thrilled to see one of my photographs featured on the 2014 Program cover. Thanks Mike for thinking of me.
It's amazing to think how much my life has changed since attending the first conference just two years ago. I have five published books on the market and working on my 6th, and I'm also helping support other writers through my own publishing company. I feel so blessed to have found my calling and grateful for Michael Larsen and Elizabeth Pomada for taking me under their wings.

On September 23rd through the 25th I joined about 100 AMAZING transformational writers/authors in Baltimore, Maryland for Christine Kloser's Transformational Author Breakthrough. This 3-day retreat was something truly spectacular as we gathered as a family of kindred spirits and like-minded souls. We shared our stories and our experiences while being surrounded by love and compassion. It was wonderful to connect with so many individuals I had only known through our Facebook group and share my latest book with Christine and the others.
