13 AUG MEETING NOTES

Nine people attended: Benafsha A., Casey, Chris L., Darryl M. (four chapters from What He Saw in the Dark), Jo, Joanne (a short story, “A Roll in the Weeds”), Lance, Matthew M. (a chapter from A Taste of Ink), and Paul D. (the first chapter of an untitled historical novel).

NEWS & NOTES

Leighanne has proposed that PFL try out the restaurant at Great Park Ice (888 Ridge Valley in Irvine) as a potential new meeting place. This may solve the noise and space issues we’ve experienced at Corner Bakery. The test run may happen at the beginning of September. Stay tuned!

Author events scheduled for the next week:

• Saturday, Aug. 15, 10 a.m.: Pam Sheppard, “Beyond Grammar: Editing That Transforms Stories” (in person for SCWA at Antonucci’s Restaurant, 24190 Alicia Parkway, Mission Viejo)
• Saturday, Aug. 15, 1 p.m.: Naomi Hirahara, Crown City; Patricia Smiley, A Cold November Murder (in person at Mystery Ink, Studio 14 in Old World Village, 7561 Center Ave, Huntington Beach)
