I last attended the San Francisco Writers Conference in the Before Times. Then, Covid hit and there was no conference for a while. All told, I think its been six or eight years or so since I gathered with my writerly community. I’ll be there for the duration this weekend, taking a much needed break from my family’s disaster recovery while my wife holds the fort with a weekend full of boxing, washing, and trash hauling from our storm impacted house. I hope to run into old and new members of the story telling tribe.

Since December 31st, we’ve been out of our home. We’ll be displaced for 6 – 12 months while repairs and restoration from the water and mold damage the storms caused. Our insurance denied coverage, FEMA came through with a very small amount and we’re looking at the entire inside of the house being scraped to the studs. Please consider a donation, every and any amount makes a difference as we work on our disaster recovery. We’ve lost most everything we had in the house due to the water, damp, and mold. If you can also elevate the reach of our Go Fund Me, that too makes a big difference. Thank you for your help.
