3/14 - 3/15/08: The 26th Annual Writers' Conference at Christopher Newport University was a great event! I met so many wonderful
people and enjoyed all of the events I was able to attend! Being able to sit on the panel for publishing Q&A was a fantastic
opportunity that I was able to share with two great people: Editor Chuck Sambuchino and Author Michelle Willingham. Please
check out my photos page to see the sights!

I have completed a freelance assignment for WOW! for their March issue! My assignment was an interview with Leigh Collett, CEO
of Resplendence Publishing. Please click here to read the interview!

On 2/22/08, I was privileged to have the opportunity to give a lecture to students, faculty members, and people from the community
at Southwest Virginia Community College. I spoke about my experiences as a writer and a newly published author. This was such
an honor for me and I hope I was able to offer some insight and inspiration to readers and to some aspiring writers. I hope I will be
able to have additonal opportunities like this. I would like to thank all those who attended and for SwVCC for inviting me!
