INVITATION TO JOIN US

We are excited to extend an invitation to you for the inaugural Current Words One-And-Done Session—an exclusive opportunity designed for fiction and memoir writers to refine their skills within a supportive setting, and the best part is, it’s entirely free!

Hosted online by DPP founders Dianne Pearce and David Yurkovich, this session is scheduled for 9-11 AM Pacific time on select Saturdays. To ensure an intimate learning environment, each meeting is limited to five participants. This is your chance to engage with seasoned professional editors at no cost.

Registration: To secure your spot, submit a portion of your writing (between 450-550 words) for live discussion. Please email your selection to workshops@currentwords.com by January 20, 2024, to be considered for the February 3rd workshop. Include your full name, city, state, and the type of work you are developing (short stories, long-form fiction, memoir) in your application. Enrollment is on a first-come, first-served basis due to limited space. Upon confirmation of your enrollment, you will receive an email containing further instructions and the meeting URL. Participants must be willing to join a Zoom call and have their work constructively discussed in a small-group setting. Please commit to attending if you sign up, as there are very limited spaces available.

In case you do not secure a spot in the first meeting, we will provide information about our March date. We plan to select five new participants each month as long as there is interest. We eagerly anticipate sharing this enriching experience with you, learning more about you and your writing, and connecting with our fellow authors.

There is NO charge to participate. We so look forward to reading your writing!

LAST CHANCE FOR A FREE READ

We have a new book that is free for download today on Amazon. If you like hardboiled detective series, you won’t get too much better than Bill’s version. Bill, as an FYI, is a Vietnam vet, and he first wrote this when he was on a Maryland state arts grant. 

There are 3 more in the series too, so if you like this, more are coming. This one is free until midnight tonight, 11/29/2021.

You can download it to any device:  laptop, tablet, smartphone, and read it whenever, or share it (you can let another person read it, also for free). You do not have to read it today, but you can only “obtain” it today.(Amazon limits how much we can give away).

FREE BOOK FRIDAY

Damn that’s a good-looking book!

You know you want it!

And, this weekend, you can have it, free!

Yes, we’re giving it away to say thanks for your support of the Hawkshaw mysteries.

If you get it, and you read it, would you be so kind as to drop it a review on Amazon?

Or Goodreads?

Bill is an indie author with an indie press who wrote one-helluva hard-boiled mystery, so he can use all the reviews he can get to help people find out about this wonderful book. He has been called the successor to Raymond Chandler by some reviewers, and they’re not exaggerating.

But, review or not, you can have it, no strings attached. We want you to have the book, and to enjoy it, on us, as a way to say “Thanks!” So get your free copy today!

It didn’t occur to me then that Kennedy was rich. All I saw was this skinny, unassuming guy with a New England accent. His suit hung on his bones as though he were still recovering from the South Pacific, but his grin was a Steinway piano. Kennedy had the kind of charm that made you like him even when he was winning the girl you wanted. How do you outmaneuver a romancer like that?
