After this group was begun by another organizer, I took over in the spring of 2012 so that a group of individuals who enjoy reading can share ideas. It's interesting to hear different view points from the group about the people's/character's personalities, the settings, and the topics in general. We have had some great discussions about the author's craft. In the past we have drifted toward biographies; any titles and suggestions from the group are welcome!  Debbie Parker

This group offers a forum for writers to learn and exchange practical information they need to get published. Members gather to ask questions and give advice about every stage of the publishing process, from writing a manuscript to querying an agent to negotiating a contract. While there are many groups for writers out there, most focus exclusively on the craft of writing, while failing to address the practical information that publishers really care about and that can make or break a book deal. …

Hi Valley Moms!!

How many people out there love board and card games and their partner or friends don't? For me, it all started as a child growing up in the 60's, no video games, no pc, just books or T.V., which by the way in England only had 4/5 hours a day programming. So board games became an intrical part of every day life. But here in the states things were different, it seems, and most of my friends considered board games to be bored games. So here we are, hosting an entertaining evening of fun and games f …
