I love this group. I mentor newer members and anyone struggling who thinks I can help. I edit and publish their anthologies. (Crime Stories, 2015; Changing Seasons, 2013; Life's a Roller Coaster, 2011; Beginnings, 2009) and have edited, published and reviewed individual member works. No pay! This is a love job, and I do love it!
