Baby steps

Last week I had the opportunity to participate in the Oxnard Public Library Local Writer’s Showcase. It was an interesting event where I was able to meet and connect with a few other local authors.

Been spending some frustrating hours cleaning up some minor errors in my manuscripts. Editing is a never-ending process.

A couple of more people have signed up at this site. I hope we are building a mutually supportive network of like-minded authors.

I am looking forward to my Zoom session on Uniformly Undesrved with the reader’s club at Folsom Prison on May 20th. I am happy to do it and in a way it is coming around full circle a bit. One of my early jobs as a graduate student was teaching American History in Leavenworth Federal Penetentary. That was an experience for sure.

Also hope to do a Zoom presentation. also on Uniformly Undeserved, at my old interrupted alma mater, Hiram college in Hiram, Ohio on June 3rd. After 55 years, I’ll be able to “return” to do something good, I hope.
