Christmas Party 2010

Charm O'Ryan once again graciously hosted our annual Christmas party at her lovely home. We shared our writing and industry-related news and tips, exchanged gifts, welcomed two new members, missed those who couldn't attend, and had a terrific potluck lunch. Everyone went home with more reading material to cozy up with and critique over the holidays. As always, it ended too soon!

Our group has had a very productive writing year with a number of books in progress, and 2011 looks to be even more productive as we gear up for marketing. We hope the same has been the case for all you writers out there.

From all of us to all of you -- Merry Christmas and a Happy and Prosperous New Year!
