“But this all writers know absolutely to be true: writers save their own lives, and they save other people’s lives. They ignite their own and others’ souls, courage and understanding of this troubled world.”

This Montana Writer’s Life on Patreon and Substack
Did you know I have free Patreon and Substack accounts? I try to post there every week, sometimes more, sometimes less. Lately, the post have been about adult ADHD and I’ve been getting some great emails from people about them. You can sign up on either platform, for free, so you don’t miss a beat.
Happy holidays! Thank you for being here. I appreciate you. Hope you are staying warm and safe this holiday season.

Free Writing Workshops
In collaboration with Thompson Falls Public Library and The Sanders County Ledger, we’ll be bringing you free online writing workshops this February! Every Friday in February, join me on Zoom to do a quick five-minute writing prompt, followed by information about writing like editing, submitting, publishing, etc. What do you most want to learn about? What do you need help/resources with? Or maybe you just want to tune in and hang out with some writers from the comfort of your own home in the deepest part of winter!
All meetings are on Friday at 5PM PT / 6PM MT / 7pm CT / 8PM ET (Or Saturdays at Noon, if you’re joining from Australia!)
Please join us via Zoom:
And be sure to drop me line letting me know what you’re most hoping to get out of the sessions!

Flashlights & Firelight Online Book Club
There have been a lot of requests to require registration for our monthly Zoom meetings as it allows participants to get automatic reminders, an immediate link to the Zoom, etc. So this is just a reminder that we’d love you to join us next month, July, 16, 2025 to discuss The Broken Girls by Simone St. James.
