We would like to thank Calvary Church of Cordova for their hospitality over the last couple of years. Calvary has allowed us to meet at their campus since the writers' group formed, and has always been a gracious host. As the group has grown, we feel the more central location of Germantown Library may better serve our ranks. Watch out though, Calvary, as we will likely come knocking on your door in November for National Novel Writing Month!

We are very proud to share that Jackie has experienced a change in the nuance of her title. She may now claim to be a professional author with the sale of "Hologram Bride" to Orson Scott Card's Intergalactic Medicine Show. The first part of her novella will appear in the January 09 issue, which may be purchased online.

 Our own dear Anne was selected as the Grand Prize winner in the Naka Kon Iron Fic writing contest, with her short story, “Sunshine Through the Clouds”. A description of the contest can be found on their website. The iron part came because they had to perform (write) live, under pressure, and under a time limit! Congrats Anne! The announcement can be found on the Con forum.

 Angelia has an ebook coming out in Jan '08 from new ebook publisher, Circle Dark. Congratulations to Angelia for being there at the start of this publishing endeavor. You can read further details about the ebook here , including cautions about the graphic content. I believe "highly inappropriate for anyone under the age of 18" was the way they put it.

 Jackie has a story, Meda's Clearing, that appears in Tales of Fantasy, by Kerlak Publishing. The list of authors includes a whos-who of local celebrity authors, hence the reason they had to have Jackie's story! Make sure you pick up a copy of this anthology (there is a link through Kerlak's website to Amazon), and enjoy Jackie's Darryl Award nominated story along with others.
