[stylist] Writers' division May-June Telephone Gathering - Special Guest - A Federationist, a published Author

[Robert Leslie Newman via stylist]

Hi you all- Join us and meet a long-time Federationist and published author

RE: We have combined our May&June telephone gatherings- Date Sunday June 1st


 

Here are the important facts you need to get on this call:

Date: June 1st (This coming Sunday)

Time: 8:30 ET; 7:30 CT; 6:30 MT; 5:30 PT

Phone#: 1-712-432-0460  

Access Code: 568839Pound 

 

(Note: We are combining these two months for the reason, the last Sunday of
May is part of a holiday weekend; we have learned over the years, that a
holiday weekend is not good for a telephone gathering. And in regards to
June, the last Sunday is a travel day for many of our members, as they are
on the move to convention in Orlando.)

 

About our special guest:

 

Lauren Merryfield has written since she was ten years old. She won second
place in two essay contests in high school. She kept a diary for years,
which was good writing practice. Many of her articles appeared in The
Braille Monitor, Future Reflections and Walking Alone and Marching Together.
One of her articles became the title to the first Kernel book: "what color
is the sun." 

 

More recently, Lauren has had two books published. The first was "there's
more than one way to love a cat: my kitty journal in haiku," about all of
the cats who have lived with her through the years. Her recent book,
"there's more than one way to be okay: a blind woman's PURRspective on life"
is mostly about blindness issues and is partly autobiographical in nature.
Of course the cats have their own chapter. Lauren is currently in the
process of having an audiobook version of this book recorded, with an added
epilogue. 

 

Lauren self-published both of her books. She has a website, and is selling
them on amazon.com. I have sold some by word of mouth and at craft fairs.

 

Purchase my new book: there's more than one way to be okay at:
