As I’ve said, I’m trying not to travel much this year, in hopes of finishing Book Ten sooner, rather than later.
Still, there are two events that I’ve done every year for… well, many years. <g> I planned to do those again in 2025: the Northern Arizona Celtic Historical Society (NACHS) Highland Tea which I attended in April, and the Surrey International Writers’ Conference in October, which was cancelled, unfortunately. Happy to say that the Surrey Conference will return in October, 2026.
Thanks!
