News from the 2017 Debs

Lynn K. Hall is adventuring in the great outdoors once again. This time in the San Juans of Southwestern Colorado (think: Telluride). Check out the details of her four-day, 100-mile quest here.

Jenni L. Walsh is turning in her second book to her editor THIS WEEK. It’s been so fun to bring Bonnie and Clyde’s life on the lam to life. It’ll also be nice to fall face first into bed after writing nonstop.

Tiffany Jackson is back from vacation, working on some new proposals.

Crystal King had fun reading with fellow GrubStreet instructor, Tim Weed (A Field Guide to Murder & Fly Fishing) this week. She also won third place for FEAST OF SORROW in the Readable Feast People’s choice awards. She was the only fiction book in the mix of culinary books!

Amy Poeppel is thrilled that the paperback edition of SMALL ADMISSIONS is coming out on July 11th. She is looking forward to seeing lots of writers/friends/writer-friends at the paperback event at Shakespeare & Co. in NYC on July 12th. Please come!! More information here.
