A huge THANK YOU to everyone who attended, participated, or in any way supported WriteOn Joliet's open mic night last night, especially to the Book and Bean Cafe that always so graciously hosts us.
A bit of insomnia last night has me a bit buzzy today. So just a couple quick announcements and then onto the story.
During the month of May, WriteOn Joliet will host a display of collaborative works at the Joliet Public Library's downtown branch, located at 150 N. Ottawa St. in Joliet.
Then from 6 to 8:30 p.m. May 30, members of WriteOn Joliet will host a meet and greet with patrons. We will also sell copies of our individual works as well as our three anthologies. The third, Cheetah Stories, is based on one silly prompt and will be released for purchase by the general public on May 30. More on this closer to the date.
The third installment of Before the Blood: Bryony Marseilles is available HERE.
A new Bertrand the Mouse book is available HERE.
My editor Colleen Robbins, author of Daraga's Quest, has told me she's nearly done editing the fourth installment of Before the Blood. We're musing on possible April dates right now. This book is due for a June release.
The WriteOn Joliet Gothic Book club, which took a fantasy turn this year, will complete its discussion of Daraga's Quest this Saturday from 12:30 to 2 p.m. at the Book and Bean Cafe, 3395 Black Road, in Joliet.
We have not decided on our next title, but there's been talk of reading Bryony next. If you have not read the book yet, this might be an opportunity to read it a little at a time.
That's all for now. Have a great Friday readers, writers, and vampire fans! :)

Joliet area fundraising dinners serve up food with a purpose
In an age of celebrity chefs and upscale dining, fundraising
meals are still a grassroots staple that brings together homemade food; a sense
of camaraderie among the cooks, servers, and attendees; and a good feeling
knowing each penny is helping a higher cause.

Artworks: Shorewood musician pursues music for 1 reason
Alex Hoffer said making music makes him happy
Hoffer said this about inspiration: "It's always just life experience. Usually, writing for me is therapeutic. I write about things that make me feel bad because I don't want to feel bad. I find it very hard to write happy songs. When I'm happy, I spend my time being happy. When something is bothering me, I definitely get the drive to write."

LocalLit Author Spotlight: Janice Bruce Hightower of Yorkville
Hightower said: My story, ‘Standing Right There’, recalls the sense of wonder I experienced as a five-year-old little Negro girl shopping for an Easter dress with my mom in the pre-civil rights era of Washington DC. While this can be a standalone story it is also a chapter in my in-progress memoir.
