Our
first Lancaster Christian Writers is coming up quick on Saturday, January 17,
2015, at Lancaster Alliance Church, 210 Pitney Rd (off Hwy 30
across from Costco) from 9:30AM-12 noon ((registration opens at 9). Join
bestselling author, speaker and marketing expert Karen Whiting and author/editor/speaker Jeanette Windle for a Q&A Session on topics of your choice.
Q&A SESSION: The weekend of January 16-18 is also the first Jerry Jenkins/Cec Murphey Christian Writers Retreat in Hershey, in conjunction with the Munce Christian Produce Expo. With a number of LCW members attending, we have rescheduled our planned January speaker (award-winning novelist Eliot Pattison) for February, so that no one will have to miss his presentation. Instead, we will be hosting a Q&A Session, with queries on any fiction and non-fiction topic fielded by Karen Whiting (in town for the Christian Product Expo) and Jeanette Windle. Help us prepare by sending your questions in advance to jeanette@jeanettewindle.com
