Howard County May Chapter Meeting
 

Okay then. This will happen at

7:00 PM on Thursday May 16th
Sunrise Senior Living
6500 Freetown Road
Columbia, MD

We are collecting new or gently-used books for the Domestic Violence Center of Howard County. Bring one and you'll receive an extra door prize ticket. Due to the nature of their services, they request that the book contain no mention of violence against women or children.

LM Preston is the author of the Middle Grade series, Explorer X; the Young Adult series, The Pack; and the Young Adult novels Bandits and Purgatory Reign. She has taken the helm of her own career by creating her own publishing company, Phenomenal One Press, and by taking full advantage of the Internet: Ms. Preston has a Facebook page, a Twitter account, a YouTube channel, a blog on WordPress, another on Blogger, and she can be found on Amazon and on Goodreads.

A look ahead:

On Thursday, June 20 we will have elections, and also something else...something so wonderful it will be discussed in coffee shops and research papers for decades if not centuries to come!
