On May 15, 2010 at 2 pm I will be participating in a panel on mystery writing at the Esther Bone Library in Rio Rancho.

The Tony Hillerman Writers’ Weekend will be held at the Inn at Loretto in Santa Fe from November 11-13, 2010.   I’ll be teaching a workshop on writing the first chapter.   I will read and critique each chapter in advance and will meet with the authors individually at the conference.   More information is available at www.wordharvest.com

I am working as a mentor for vocationvacations.com, a company founded by Brian Kurth with the intent of enriching people’s lives by enabling them to test-drive the job of their dreams.  Brian now has 300 mentors working for him and participants can try out over 125 different careers.  I’m listed on the website under Be a Writer. Participants spend two days with me while I share what I’ve learned from my years of experience writing and publishing fiction. It has been a very positive experience for me and for the aspiring writers as well.
