We’re excited to have NY Times Bestselling Author, Darcie Chan as an online guest at this meeting. Her story is not totally unique, but it is one of the lightening strike ones. Ms. Chan published her first novel as an independent writer and it took off like a rocket! It did so well that she was approached by one of the Big Four publishers and signed a contract for her next two books. But let’s hear her tell her own story — how it happened and what she did to get to best seller status.

If you have not been to a meeting at Scheels, here’s how to find us. Enter from the parking lot and go to the escalators/stairs past the aquarium. Go upstairs and turn left past the Abraham Lincoln statue. Beyond the arcade are the restrooms so turn toward them, then go left to the door alongside that has a badge control on it. The door is unlocked and you can go into the hallway where the meeting rooms are the three doors on the left. We usually have two of these rooms, so look for us.

HSW Writers’ Success Stories
High Sierra Writers has quite a few published writers in the group. We have a page featuring the various books grouped by author under genre. These are under HSW Writers link. As our authors release new books, we’ll feature them here. This month we have a new releases from Riona Kelly (Rene Averett) and A.J. Wildman.
Cat Whisper is Rene’s latest release under her Riona Kelly pen name. He’s got a whopper of a secret that he’s kept from the whole town, but a newcomer threatens to expose it.
She’s studying to be a veterinarian and is working with the local pet doc over the summer break. Falling for a guy is the last thing on her mind.
Of course, they’re drawn to each other with a mutual interest in animals. Can he trust her with his secret?
This romantic suspense novel is available in Kindle, KU, and paperback at Amazon.
The Zauberin and the Dragon by A.J. Wildman was released April 26 to Amazon Kindle. In this dark, paranormal romance, he’s the Protector of his kind, heir to a cursed throne. She’s the one regret that’s stung his heart for nearly two decades.
Divorced. Career in the tank. Forced to return to her hometown of Roanoke, Virginia to start over. To say Livi’s life could be better would be an understatement. Then he pays a her late night visit, and her life is turned upside down.
If they can navigate Riley’s overbearing family, and he can help stop a serial killer before his family secrets are exposed, they might stand a chance.
Please support your fellow HSW members by reading and reviewing their work.
