Hi everybody! I am a senior woman, past the stage where someone says 'a woman of a certain age'! But I want to be an author who can inspire others with my life. It's been a long and happy life. I am an avid reader and read a variety of genres. But humor is my way to face life. So I hope to meet many folks here who can help and inspire me as I help and inspire others. I retired only last year as Veterans Service Office who loves our military and wants to help them all I can. Now I forage for natural medicines and use them! So this is only a bit about me. I'm open to questions and will lead with a laugh if I can!

Hi. I just had a matectemy. It was a struggle for my husband, 6 year old daughter and 4 year old son. I read other childrens books to help my kids relate and adjust. When I started chemo I realized these books were so fake and boring so I wrote a children's book on what it's really like. Mommy Was Bitten by the Cancer Bug

We chatted for a few minutes after the event.

Hello everyone! I just wanted to announce that we will be having our 26th anniversary celebration for the Pulpwood Queen's Book Club rebranded now to the Big Book Love Author Community on Sunday January 18th at 6:00 PM Central time. In years past we would be at a live Girlfriend Weekend book festival during this weekend but as we transition into the new Big Book Love Author Community, we are putting that event on hold. Once we get the entire community on the new platform, we will discuss more about reviving Girlfriend Weekend. We want to invite all old and new members to join us right here in our Skool community via a live group zoom meeting. The link to join is https://www.skool.com/live/Z8zkpC9Qxws If you are going to join us, you will have to be inside Skool either on your laptop or on the Skool mobile app. Please invite anyone you know who is an author or someone who loves reading to come and celebrate with us! If you have any questions, please leave them below in the comments. See you Sunday! ______________ Paul Roberson Community Executive Director ______________________________ Classroom Author Profile www.bigbooklove.com/paul-l-roberson/ _______________________________________
