Iowa Summer Classes

Iowa Summer Writing Festival -- 2006. Adam, Sharon, Nancy, Tracy, Joanna, Jan, Mary Jo, Kay, Susan, and Lou.

Students from "10,000 Words," a week-long writing class offered in summer 2005.
A few nice comments (thanks!) --

"This class sprouted the seed of an idea that was lying dormant. I think that it's now ready to grow. [The class] was everything I hoped for!"

"Carolyn L. was an excellent instructor -- funny, also, which was an unexpected bonus."

Some Favorite Things


Carnac Alignments No one knows the purpose behind the arrangements of these rocks. The nearly 3,000 stones range in height from 2 to 20 feet, and the alignment dates back to about 4,500 BC.

Books


This "browsing" book has lots of trivia and tales about the Midwest. Like every part of the country, the Middle is full of wonderful people and beautiful landscapes. Quirks and shananigans are also common, yes?

Are you the youngest female in your family? When I wrote LITTLE SISTERS, I interviewed women who relished their place in the family and women who were frustrated by it. I also researched information about birth order and found some good tidbits -- such as youngest siblings are more likely to divulge family secrets (SOMEbody has to do it).

In WEST WITH HOPELESS, a pair of sisters reluctantly set off together on a four-day road trip from Davenport, Iowa, to Reno, Nevada, in this young adult novel published By Dutton in 2004. The book received second place in the Juvenile Literary category sponsored by Friends of American Writers in spring, 2005, and is nominated for the YABA (Young Adult Book Award) in Pennsylvania for 2006.
