Karen announced her circus elephant rescue book Ivy is coming out in November. Karen teamed up with High Hill Publishers to get her historical novel published. It was an eight year journey which demonstrates it’s never easy, but patience, persistence, and belief in your work pays off.

Members should also include a recipe and photo. Illustrations and personal photos for the publication are also encouraged.

Ruthann read her submission The Best-Worst Christmas Ever! Mari offered a few suggestions.

Jackie read two poems "Spike’s Lunch" and "Thanksgiving Top Ten". She reported she is having a hard time writing Christmas poems for the book.
