Kettle Pond Writers’ Conference!

What a wonderful opening evening at the Kettle Pond Writers’ Conference last night here in Paul Smith’s College in the Adirondacks. It was such a joy to share the reading stage with fiction writer extraordinaire Brock Clarke! This is going to be a great week of teaching writing in the mountains, surrounded by the tall pines, and the geese, and the loons and…maybe…mooses?
