Hi Everyone, Sounds like a great time. I love to include some mystery or suspense in my work, but doubt if that qualifies me to join. I've been missing as I have promoting my first release, Surviving With Love, on May 1 and preparing for the release of Looking Through The Mist on Jul 1. SWL made number 1 seller at my publisher for May and we expect LTTM to do even better. Thanks for letting me share and for all the great posts. Even if I don't participate, I read them.

Shawn,
Anyone can attend the conference, but yes, there is an annual membership fee. Please check out the website: www.policewriter.com

Like Sunny Frazier, I attended the Las Vegas PSWA conference and had a great time. (I'm actually still in Las Vegas, finishing up the fun.) In any event, it's a great organization to join. The conference was informative and extremely entertaining, and the speakers and attendees were quite diverse with a wealth of experience from many different backgrounds. If you write anything relating to police, prosecution, emergency services, etc., it's a good group to join. The only thing that would have been more fun is if it would have been in my own hometown of New Orleans, and I'm trying to get Billie Johnson of Oak Tree Press to hold a conference down there.

Sunny,
Sounds very interesting :-) I have an uncle who is a fireman, and I have relatvies in Vegas, LOL. Do you have to pay a membership to join? Cause I know the PA writers need to pay to be part of the group up here. Thanks for the info and talk to you later.

God Bless,
Shawn

Hi all. Just got in from the Vegas Public Safety Writers conference, very intense. Great conference, group doubled in size. Forensic handwriting expert, fingerprint expert, Oak Tree Press publisher, Betty Webb, marketing advice, much more. Anyone out there with a police, fireman, deputy, paramedic, any connection to Public Safety, this is a group you should become part of. Excellent sources for info for our novels. Great promotion, contests, a chance to sell books (I nearly sold out). And, IT'S VEGAS, BABY!

Sunny, that's a great idea. The other authors were lucky to have your creative action available in their area. Continued success with your work.

I got tired of waiting for book events to happen in my area, so I created one! Working with the library and using the Veterans' center, I invited 40 authors to Hanford, CA, to sell their books and talk to the public. It was free, didn't cost a thing to pull it off. I sold 11 copies of my latest book and kept all the money. No paying a book seller's fee. I sent press releases to all the papers in the Central Valley, Public Radio and the TV stations. We got terrific coverage. I wanted this area to be proud of their regional authors and see what we've accomplished. Good times!

I hate when life gets in the way of writing. Worked, then exercise, then dinner, now my head is too filled with tiredness to write.

It's raining and words should be pouring from my fingertips. Not happening this moment.
