Writers Conference – Presentation

On what became a memorable night, not long after we first met, JB and I went to a little bar in Old Town Manassas, Virginia. Those of us here of a certain age will remember the name of the aging lead singer that night, Gary Lewis was performing live.

Schreiner University has announced its annual Texas Writers Conference and the Coffeehouse Series performance by Christopher “Rooster” Martinez. Both events will be free and open to the public.

The events will take place on April 13, with the Texas Writers Conference held from 3-5 p.m. in the Junkin Family Ministry Center on the Schreiner campus, and the Coffeehouse Series performance, which will be from 7-9 p.m. at the Trailhead Beer Garden outdoor stage at Schreiner University, 2100 Memorial Blvd.

Notes and a link for my presentation at the Trailhead follow…

My name is William, William McHone. For me, becoming a writer means becoming a story teller. On a Valentine’s Day, many years ago, I left a note to a special friend. I took to calling Jennifer Beckwith, JB. I wrote many notes to JB, always signing them with a scripted Wm. JB took to calling me Wmmm.

This is a bit of flash fiction, for me a flash memory.
