Women Writing the West Conference Coming Up

Our WWW Conference is coming up soon. I’m going to enjoy the (virtual) conference and am looking forward to chatting with my fellow Women Writing the West!

This year I’m contributing to the charity auction with a Lowcountry Basket containing such items as a pine needle basket, Spanish moss scented candle, sea salt from the Charleston sea islands, benne seed cookies, tea & coffee grown in the Lowcountry, Gullah Gullah Gumbo soup mix, and some hand gathered seashells. Hopefully it will be unique enough to attract some high bidders!

Our keynote speaker will be Molly Glass. Molly Gloss is the author of several novels including The Jump-Off Creek, The Dazzle of Day, Wild Life, The Hearts of Horses andFalling From Horses, as well as the story collection Unforeseen. She writes both realistic fiction and science fiction, and her work has received, among other honors, a PEN West Fiction Prize, an Oregon Book Award, two Pacific Northwest Booksellers Awards, the James Tiptree, Jr. Award, and a Whiting Writers Award. A fourth-generation Oregonian, she lives in Portland.
