Speaking to the Roanoke Valley Branch of the National League of American Pen Women

I love to talk about my books and writing, so I was delighted when the Roanoke Valley Branch of the National League of American Pen Women invited me to speak at their October 13th meeting held in the community room at the Roanoke Natural Foods Co-op on Grandin Road. I enjoyed being there.

First we lunched on sandwiches and salads provided by the Happy Belly Deli located in the Co-op. Delicious! I sat in on their business meeting, which gave me a deeper understanding of these artsy and creative women. These ladies were smart, fun, and understood me and my passion for writing. After all, they have their creative passions, too.

I had never been to the Co-op before, but was fascinated at the items I saw there and hope to go back to shop.
