2016 was our third year as an active writers group and was our most ambitious one so far. In March, we offered a Writing Romance workshop and a Getting Published seminar in May. In September, we published a new book - Our Traditions: A Collection of Stories with Crafts and Recipes from Our Members. On October 8, 2016, we participated in the First Annual Indie Author Day. However, none of these activities prevented us from publishing Anthology 2016, our third annual collection of poems and short stories. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do. This book features works by our current CWG members: Jenny Breeden, Leslie Bush, Mikey Chlanda, Patti Kay Emerson, Brad Hudepohl, Elle Mott, L. N. Passmore, Gary Reed and Alvena Stanfield, and a commemorative entry from our former member, Liz Shipwash.
