It's a cover reveal !

 
cj Sez: I am beyond thrilled to share the gorgeous cover of the Mobile Writers Guild upcoming anthology, CLASSIC PIECES RETOLD, in which I have retold two Agatha Christie closed-door mysteries.
 
Another beautiful cover design by MWG member, Steven Moore

  If you’re in the Mobile, AL, area, you’re in great luck. The (FREE) Mobile Literary Festival returns after its pandemic hiatus. WRITE NOW comes  to the Ben May Main Library on Saturday, March 11, 2023.
 
Great topics, excellent faculty, shopping and networking breaks, longer lunch break.
 
Which workshop piques your interest? I’ll be part of the work crew, but hope to break out a bit of time to listen to the pros and cons of “Pantster v. Plotter: The Great Debate."
 
The plot vs. pants session will be an in-depth look at the strengths and weaknesses in the process of heavily outlining the work (plotting, story boarding, etc.) versus writing the first words of a project without any idea of what the outcome will be (writing by the seat of your pants.) Of course there are a ton of ways to approach a writing project, so the Festival invited three different authors—Carrie Dalby (Possession Chronicles series), Amy Delcambre (Secret Mobile, A Guide to the Weird, Wonderful, and Obscure), and Amanda Gibson (In the Absence of Serpents)—to share their insights on the pros and cons of their preferred process. Ought to be a very interesting workshop, since I consider myself a “pathfinder.”
