Thank you to NAWW. I just received my packet to start my own regional group in Madison, Maine. Hope to find and recruit many women writers in my area!

Just set up my own blog…….writeinmaine.blogspot.com/

I Hope to hear from other NAWW members and writers!

About Me:
I have been writing for most of my life. Never to be published, though, until I retired as a PostMaster out of the USPS. In the past year, I have written two novels, poetry, children’s stories and a self help booklet titled, Why Not Teach Piano? Thus far, I have had only two poems published. Oh yes, I have also written a lot of music, through the years.

Thanks again to NAWW. You’ve given me a voice and a chance to network.
