I am so honored to be a part of this special event on the Oregon Coast. I’m eager for everyone to bring their WordPress questions and challenges. The presentation will be focused on some basic challenges facing authors and writers working with WordPress, but I’m ready for whatever anyone has to challenge me with. LOL! I’ll be around throughout the weekend to answer questions and learn from the fabulous collection of authors and talent!

Lorelle,
And I’m equally glad you’re part of the conference. You know I’ll be sitting in on your session. I should start gathering my questions now. As the publishing world changes at such a dizzying pace writers need more skills… this is where folks/geniuses like you come in. See you in June!
