The annual Scissortail Creative Writing Festival is back for its sixth year and bigger than ever with four featured authors, including Where The Heart Is author Billie Letts. In addition, more than 50 regional, published and emerging authors will make presentations during the three-day festival, March 31 – April 2, on the campus of East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma. All sessions are free and open to the public.

This is becoming a premiere literary event in our state, and now’s a great time to get in on the fun. Meet the authors who plan to attend, check out the readings that will be held during the three days, celebrate the winners of the Darryl Fisher Creative Writing Contest, explore more about the festival, and just plan on having a grand time!

Next to keep the family theme going, Billie Letts, Tracy’s mom, has a new book, Made in the U.S.A.

Looking forward to Carolyn Wall’s Sweeping Up Glass.

Linda Hogan has penned a new novel, People of the Whale. You might want to start with her book Mean Spirit. Here’s a taster from Oklahoma Reads Oklahoma.

And for dessert Carolyn Hart’s Ghost at Work, a new series, a new heroine.

Five for dinner, you do have to spend some time with relatives and turkey. Happy HOLIDAY.
