Genealogy is a great way  to get in touch with your past as well as increase your knowledge of history. Since beginning my project well over ten years ago, I have found such interesting things about my family! In addition, as a writer, it has enabled me to learn how and why immigrants  worldwide settled the areas they chose, what were popular names in certain periods and family size, income and  dynamics. It’s a wonderful hobby!

The RWA convention in 2009 was held in Washington DC, and was incredibly enlightening. Met wonderful editors and industry professionals and interacted with several fabulous writers. The Marriott was incredible...luncheons and dinners were perfect. I arrived home with a sack filled with new books, a renewed vim and vigor...ready to write. It was my latest convention to attend, now I am attending some local conferences and meetings!
