I would love to continue the Getting to Know You (GTKY) blog posts if we get enough volunteers. Here’s one example of a member who was featured in the September 30, 2016 GTKY post:

1. We know the who (that’s you), so will you give us the what, why, when, where, and how you write?
I write “History, made passionate in medieval England,” aka historical romance and women’s fiction. It’s my passion because I firmly believe that “Amor vincit omnia” — Love conquers all. I love exploring relationships and making the impossible, possible through my characters. My favorite reviews mention that my writing transports them to my story worlds and makes them care for my characters. I write from my home office at an elevation of 8,300 ft. in Morrison, frequently crashing my husband’s home office (better view), and wherever my MacPro and I travel.
2. What is one fun thing few RMFW members know about you?
I directed my community’s annual musical production for 22 years, and I ran away from home at 6, 12, and 14. Oh, and my husband, John, and I were married at the Renaissance Festival.
3. What is your most favorite non-writing activity, the one that gives you the greatest joy?
Must I choose one? I love to ski, spend time with my family and new grandson, and play tennis. And I love good treasure finds at estate sales and consignment stores.
We also have openings for guest bloggers throughout the year, so consider volunteering for one of those spots as well. Submission guidelines for guest bloggers can be found on the website.
Contact me at blog@rmfw.org and I’ll email you the instructions for the GTKY posts.
You must be a Rocky Mountain Fiction Writers member to participate in these opportunities, but it doesn’t matter if you’re published or unpublished, a long-time member or brand new to the organization. We want you to have a chance to introduce yourself to the membership and get acquainted with other members.
I hope so too! These posts are fun to read.
I love the posts. I’m horrible with names and faces, and this just gives me one more thing to “latch on to” when I’m trying to recall who someone is or what they write about, etc. I hope you get more people to volunteer!
I enjoy them very much
“Everyone has a chapter they don’t read out loud.” I find these post enjoyable.
