June's two books Kindred and Death Spiral are currently available in e-book on Amazon. Unfortunately I was unable to find Death Spiral at this time.
Diane announced that her latest novel The Bookstore Lady will be available for free on Kindle from September 12th-14th. This can be purchased through our Amazon.ca bookstore here: http://astore.amazon.ca/headwritguil-20?node=16&page=2. I am not sure whether you can get the freebie during the 12th-14th through our Amazon store or whether you have to go directly to Amazon.
Marilyn announced that a short story she wrote has been short listed to the final five in the Alice Munro Short Story Contest, adult division.
Sonja advised that the Orangeville Public Library has some of our writers' books on their shelves: Death of a Highland Heavyweight by Jayne Self, Short Tales from a Tall Person by Marilyn Kleiber, and A Softness in the Eyes by Harry Posner.
Please support our writers by posting reviews on Amazon and any other websites where you may post book reviews.
A reminder that Richard Scarsbrook returns to the Orangeville Public Library September 9th, October 7th and November 4th for a Creative Writing Roundtable Series from 6:30pm-8:30pm.
Due to a field trip to Theatre Orangeville for a table reading of "Near Mrs." on Sunday, September 22nd at 3:00pm, there will be no meeting on September 22nd. If you plan to attend the event you must arrive well early in order to get a seat.
Writing Prompts provided by Diane (via Writer's Digest)
1. She looked out the window only to see a face staring right back at her...
2. A fortune teller at the local county fair tells you two things: something good that will happen and something awful that will happen.
3. "Every day of the week I ______________, but Sundays are different. On Sundays ____________"
4. Your kids love watching CSI, so you buy them a forsenic starter's kit for Christmas. They begin running simple, fake experiments, collecting DNA, and dusting for fingerprints around the house. When you look at all of the powder and prints they pull, you find there are more fingerprints there than just you and your family's.
5. On your way into work, you look at the car on the left. Inside are two men dressed in dark suits, wearing sunglasses. They simultaneously look at you and meet your gaze. The one in the passenger seat rolls down his window and says something. Write what he says, and what happens next.
"I write because I'm afraid to say some things out loud." - Gordon Atkinson, reallivepreacher.com
Our next meeting will be on Sunday, October 6th, at 1:30pm. Jayne is scheduled to lead.
