Unfortunately, my friend and fellow Plume conspirator, Dawn Sperber, had a health flare up and will be unable to join us for the Books on the Bosque reading. BUT, the good news is that my long time friend Carmela Starace is able to step in and take Dawn's place. Carmela just finished her MFA in Creative Nonfiction and is an amazing writer and good friend.

As a sidebar: Carmela, Dawn, Melanie (who will be hosting the reading a la Plume), and I all started this writing journey together in our MFA program years ago. We had a Thursday night workshop with Daniel Mueller, and that set the tone for what has become 16 years of friendship and writing. It's wild that it's been that long - I had to do the math twice because my mind couldn't believe that it's been that long. To say that I am excited for this reading is an understatement. Thanks, Dan, for bringing us all together!
