We would self-publish the book and then sell it to raise funds for the group. 

New meeting time!

Hope to see you there.

 Carol Moncado

USA Today Bestselling Author Carol Moncado prefers binge watching pretty much anything to working out. She believes peanut butter M&Ms are the perfect food and Dr. Pepper should come in an IV. When not hanging out with her hubby, four kids, and two dogs who weigh less than most hard cover books, she’s probably reading in her Southwest Missouri home.​
She’s a founding member and former President of MozArks ACFW and is represented by Tamela Hancock Murray of the Steve Laube Agency.
Thank you to our January 2020 Mini conference speaker:

Author Websites

There's nothing like opening a gorgeous website and finding it easy to navigate! Websites like this are a pleasure to use because they make shopping for products or searching for information easy for the user. 
What about an Author Website? What about your author website? 
This past Saturday we learned about the importance of an effective author website and how to set one up by web developer, Gabrielle Koza. Read here for more information.

 CWOW President:  Ruth Douthitt

Ruth A. Douthitt’s life took a turn for the better when she returned to college in her late thirties to complete a B.A. in Visual Art from ASU as well as a Masters in Education from University of Phoenix. After teaching college part time, she decided it was time to complete her first book after working on it for almost 20 years. The Dragon Forest trilogy is about knights, castles, and the dragon realm. Ruth has completed her second trilogy about a group of misfit kids who solve murder mysteries with the help of ghosts. The Children series is now available! Ruth currently works in curriculum development and also teaches women's Bible study. Ruth desires to write both non-fiction as well as fiction for women.  She lives in Phoenix, AZ with her husband of 29 years.  For more information on Ruth A. Douthitt, visit: www.thedragonforest.com
