Meet, Greet, and Take Action By Debra Holland
Writers are often a great source of support for each other. Few professions have so many members willing to educate others in their field. The experience and expertise of other writers can help you at all levels of your career.

Found a Loaded Gun in the New House
The house closing went off (almost) without a hitch and now we’re the proud new owners of…a house that looks MUCH worse without furniture in it. Ha ha. When we first saw the property (two times), it looked awesome.
