GCLS Annual Conference: Why Pittsburgh?
The Golden Crown Literary Society’s Annual Conference is held in a different city each year – except for that 3 year period when we were in Orlando. (That whole “let’s go to the same city in consecutive years” thing won’t be repeated.) Since I’ve been a member, we’ve been to Orlando, Minneapolis, Dallas, Portland, New…

A day of books, laughter, and fun
It was another long day. Yes, a long day. But it was a fun day, too. Books and Boots got started with some opening remarks and then we moved into the panels for the day. These were great line ups. The moderators and audience members asked questions of the panelists – and there was some…

NaBloPoMo (11/2016) – Day 5: GCLS Behind the Scenes
As you can tell from the title of this blog and from the month of the year, I participate in National Blog Posting Month in November. This is my third year participating. Many of the people I know do NaNoWriMo – National Novel Writing Month – in November. That’s awesome because, well, they are writers.…

NaBloPoMo (11/2015) – Day 18: Walk the walk and make a difference
I learned about the Golden Crown Literary Society (GCLS) in 2008. I was a participant on a forum and many of the other members were talking about the upcoming conference. So, I looked into the organization. It seemed interesting – all about lesbian literature; about bringing readers and authors together; about doing more than just…

We hold or attend events…
