President Russell Connor congratulated members for a coming together to hold a successful “City of Euless Appreciation Celebration” to commemorate DFWWW’s twentieth anniversary in the city.

Member Clint Ford announced that he has teamed with illustrator Alec Hanson on a children’s book. Kyle White mentioned that he has new horror short stories on the web, one at Sonar4 and one at Bewildering Stories. Speaking of scary tales, members were reminded that during next week’s meeting there will be a special room set aside for Halloween-themed reads. Who knows, they might even turn off the lights.

Finally, conference co-chairperson Jeff Posey asked DFWWW members to continue their great efforts toward promoting the 2010 DFW Writers’ Conference and Hook ‘Em Writing Contest. Appointments with the agents are limited and continue to fill fast, so people were encouraged to register soon.

Ghosts, vampires, werewolves, short stories, poems, it’s all good! It should be an entertaining night of reads at the Workshop.

The only requirement is your entire work must fit into 15 minutes of reading.

For those who aren’t into the Halloween thing, no problem. Regular reads will go on as normal in a side room.

Costumes and food items are welcomed! See you there.
