SouthWest Writers – What a Fun Time
I had a fantastic time at SouthWest Writers today. They aresuch a great group. I gave a brand new workshop on creating suspense and I actually finished the talk–though I will admit to speeding through the last three slides.

Enjoy! Thanks again for being such a great...
