As the president for this year’s HWG Fall Conference for writers in St. George, Utah, I want to encourage all of you to join us at this exciting event! Regardless of your level of writing experience—from the published author to the uninitiated, never-before-published authors!—this conference has something significant for every participant!
This year, because of the diversity of topics, the number of speakers we were able to procure, and trying to fit everything in during the two days of the event, we have break-out sessions during each day’s programming. I think we have prepared the sessions in such a way that everyone will be able to attend speakers who will be most helpful and informative.
The Lexington Hotel, the site of the conference, has reserved a block of rooms for those traveling from afar at rates lower than their normal rates for this time of year. Be sure to call the hotel at: (435) 628-4235 to take advantage of these limited available rooms.
In addition to the great list of speakers scheduled, this conference will be a two-day event for everyone to network with fellow authors and industry leaders. Be sure to bring your personal business cards and book info!
Finally, we look forward to our first-ever FREE community lecture on writing each night. The goal of this portion of the conference is two-fold: We want to give members of our community a chance to learn about the basics of writing. Second, we wanted to have a significant audience for our “Authorpalooza” event that will highlight authors who have books published. The Authorpalooza will follow each night’s free community lecture giving authors who have books to sell not only potential customers but also the opportunity to share their experiences with these interested folks!
Thank you for taking part in this conference and we look forward to spending two days of inspiration, motivation and information with you in St. George, Utah!

I have no knight for this St. George's day, but a very gentle pet dragon from the Peaceful Fairy Realms!
This year is the 175th anniversary of the St. George's Society of Toronto. the oldest charity in the city. To quote from their website: "On April 23, 1834, a group of citizen celebrated St. George's Day over dinner at the British Coffee House at King and York streets and changed the future of the city.
They formed The St. George's Society of Toronto, named after the patron saint of England, which grew to provide crucial social services and a lively social life.
While originally founded to help immigrants of English and Welsh origin, the Society assisted anyone who qualified for assistance. It was famous right through the early 1900s for providing food, money and medical services to the city's poor and less fortunate."
The good works of the Society continue to this day, "bringing together men and women of all cultures with an interest in things British for good fun, good fellowship and good works – a tradition that has helped Toronto become the enviable place it is."
Happy St. George's Day to all.

What a charming little dragon! Who could ever think of slaying such a sweet little beast? You should be a dragon ambassador, Frances. Rehabilitate their image!
Happy St. George's day to you! I'm of Scottish descent, but when it comes to good works, it's easy to honor the tradition of helping others.
You've inspired me to go and look up St. George's history. Sometimes doing that with saints can be a bit of a hair-raising experience, but always interesting to know.

What a very sweet picture! A bit different from the rather more bloodthirsty dragons on display today. :)

Have a great weekend x
Thank you very much Valerie, I hadn't realized that was the nature of my guest. I have just gone through previous posts and swept all traces away.
