I’m having one of those heart-gushy, “I’m so freaking grateful” moments, thanks to my friend and insanely talented author Mike Miller, and Patty Stith, president of the prestigious Oklahoma Writers’ Federation Inc.. A week from today, I’ll be mingling with wonderful wordsmiths, sharing some insight and soaking in even more in Oklahoma. I’d take such a conference over a Bahamas cruise any day of the year.
I’m honored to be a guest on Patty’s OWFI blog today, answering questions about writing, my career, gender swapping and more. 😉 I hope you’ll check it out. To read the interview, click the above link or this photo:
If you haven’t yet registered for OWFI and would like to, there’s still time! For more details, visit OWFI.org. You can also keep up with the conference via Twitter, using hashtags #OWFI and #OWFI13.

Gloria Richard Author
/ April 27, 2013Wonderful interview, August. Duh! As it you’d do anything less.
Why-oh-why does OWFI have to be the same weekend as DFW Con? Use some of your pennies to take a detour to Texas while you’re in Oklahoma. Free room and board? Or, I’ll meet you at the border.
Do your thing! You’ll rock it. But, we will miss you.
August McLaughlin
/ April 28, 2013Ooh, great idea! 😉 One of these days, we’ll all be conferencing/partying together. Have a BLAST at DFW Con. I can’t wait to hear about it, and will be missing my WANA pals like crazy.
Debra Eve
/ April 27, 2013Congrats, August! Sounds like so much fun.
