In 2004, Bonnie Hearn Hill left her day job after signing two back-to-back three-book contracts with MIRA Books. In 2006, her short story, Part Light, Part Memory, appeared in Death Do Us Part, a Mystery Writers of America anthology edited by Harlan Coben. After publishing six thrillers with MIRA, she signed with Running Press/Perseus Books for three young adult astrology novels, which are due any day now (and will be published in 2010).
A newspaper editor for 22 years, as well as a national conference speaker and columnist/freelancer for a number of magazines, including Publishers Weekly, she has been mentoring writers since 1990. She is especially proud that The Tuesdays, the Fresno, California writing class she began at that time, is now 100 percent published. Her first speaking engagement was at the third Mendocino Coast Writers Conference.
Hello. John here. I am new to the community. First of all, I want to thank those that have put this together. It is a great place to learn and get more information. I just wanted to make an introductory post to introduce myself. Thanks for the help.

Hi John, welcome to the Mendocino coast. Have you been to the conference web site--mcwc.org ? If you're on Facebook, you can find us there too. You're a writer, I assume. What do you write: fiction, etc.? If it works for you to join us for the conference, there are writing contests for every interest.
