Ms. Meyers is the author of Callie and the Stepmother. “When Callie's father remarries, Callie knows exactly what her life will be like. After all, she's read all the books. She's going to be stuck cleaning floors, expected to sweep the fireplace, forced to eat poisoned apples and most likely abandoned in the woods. In this delightful rendition of a modern day Cinderella, Callie learns not all stepmothers are wicked and every fairytale has a unique ending.”

Special Announcement Revealed!

Thank you to all who have been following along with my teasers/hints regarding my special announcement. Your interest and support is greatly appreciated. Without further ado:

In the last several years I have attended numerous in-person writers’ conference and the last two Muse Online Writers Conferences. The success stories that I've been privy to when a writer finds success in finding an agent or publisher are exhilarating. I have often wondered: How can I make this happen? Are these events pipe dreams? I'm here to tell you, you can make these special connections happen and they do not need to be pipe dreams, but reality. While coasting through the cyber-space hallways at the 2008 Muse Online Writers Conference, I received a virtual tap on my shoulder and an unexpected surprise was presented to me. VS Grenier, founder and editor of Stories for Children Magazine presented me an offer to join her team, starting January 2009 as Marketing Manager.

Your attendance at conferences is indeed crucial to be put into the right place at the right time. You never know who has been watching your writing career from afar and may present themselves to you and offer a wonderful opportunity.

Go for it...market your writing career...the break you've been striving for may just be right around the next corner!


Wishing you all a blessed 2009 filled
with happiness & success!
I am thrilled to announce that I received notification today (October 10, 2008) that my entry entitled, "The Golden Pathway," has placed in the top 100 of the 77th Annual Writer's Digest Writing Competition in the category: Children's/Young Adult Fiction.  YIPPEE!!
