Former prison warden Tekla Dennison Miller will address San Juan College students and the community from 11:30 a.m. to 12:45 p.m., Tuesday, November 6, in room 9012 of the Henderson Fine Arts Center. Her talk will focus on prison life, who goes to prison and the death penalty. She relates stories of when she was a warden and some of the prisoners she had to deal with.
Miller is unusual in that she ran both a man and a woman’s maximum security prison in Michigan at the same time. She is the author of three books and is a frequent speaker at corrections conferences across the United States.
Her published memoir, The Warden Wore Pink, is about her 20-year career in corrections. Miller also taught children in South Central LA after the riots, worked with mentally challenged enlisted men while employed with the U.S. Special Services in Germany, was the first female probation officer in Oakland County, Michigan, and the supervisor of the first prison camp for women in Michigan. Miller is a social activist, writer and national speaker focusing on women's issues, juvenile and criminal justice reform.
At the talk, her books will be available for sale and signing.

New Mexico BookCoOp New Mexoico Book Awards Harry Wilson Amador Press
OCTOBER 19 CO-OP MEETING — What I as a Writer Learned by Becoming a Publisher
Our guest at the October 19 Co-op lunch meeting will be Harry Willson, publisher and author, Amador Publishers. The publishers seemed to like Harry Willson's work - even as they rejected it. So he decided to take a chance on his own writing and publish it himself. Soon he was publishing the work of others as well. Twenty years later the company Harry started with his wife Adela Amador, Amador Publishers, has published more than 30 books by 15 authors. Still, Harry is first and foremost a writer, and he's learned a lot about both the craft and business of writing from being on the other side of the desk. He will share some of those insights in his talk: What I as a Writer Learned by Becoming a Publisher.
The meeting begins at 11:30 and will be at the HomeTown Buffet at 9261 Coors Blvd in Albuquerque. Cost is $8.29 plus tax and tip. Email info@nmbookcoop.com to reserve a seat at the meeting.

The Frugal Editor will foil the gremlins out there determined to keep authors' works from being published, their books from being promoted. They—resolved to embarrass writers before the gatekeepers who can turn the key of success for them—lurk in their subconscious minds and the depths of their computer programs. With the release of Carolyn Howard-Johnson’s The Frugal Editor writers can take control of their own futures—from first query letter to final galley.

Gotsch Discovery
Went to a creative writing workshop, and got "my wrist slapped" for cramming too many internal thoughts, or too much information expressed by dialogue into a story and slowing it down. The instructor suggested that I find all internals or dialogue possible that could be expressed in a gesture, and use expressions and physical movement to express them. Save dialogue and internals for abstract thoughts. I tried it and didConnie Gotsch www.conniegotsch.com Host Write On Four Corners KSJE FM, Farmington NM www.ksje.com Author two award winning novels Snap Me a Future and A Mouthful of Shell available www.dlsijpress.com it shorten my stuff up. That should have been a "duh", but for some reason it wasn't. Have a good day.
