LAM Book Club
Join me and other readers for a monthly Book Club Chat: the first Thursday at 8 p.m. (CT).

The face-to-face interaction through Zoom grows literary friendships and fosters a love of literature.

Your “Write” Adventure: Trail Blazes for Writing Memoirs
Every life is a story—or a dozen. How do you know when it’s time to write yours down? Should you write it for your family or the world? What’s the difference between autobiography and memoir? How do you approach each? Author Joy E. Rancatore will answer these questions and more. Writers will leave with tips and advice on writing their stories as well as a brainstorm of the best way to tell their adventures. Registration Required; link coming soon.
