Before prizes for the short story and poetry contests were presented, we were treated to a mini-jazz concert featuring musicians who attend the college.
During the presentations Lori Wilde spoke of her journey as a writer, which was not without speed bumps, (she has now published 69 novels).
We met several interesting authors and I had a fun day sharing a table with my fellow writers: Sharon K. Owen, Arly Pineo and Joanne Faries.
