Our meeting meeting will be held April 11 from 10 am to noon at the Merlot Room in Grapevine between Glade and Hall-Johnson off of Highway 121. We’re excited to welcome the North Texas Paranormal Investigators!
Come on how to hear about all the things that go bump in the night..and day. And then join us for lunch afterward at Cotton Patch Cafe (across Highway 121).
Our next meeting is Saturday, March 14 at the Merlot Room in Grapevine from 10 am to 12 pm. Lunch following at Cotton Patch Cafe across the highway.
Guest Speaker: Rosemary Clement-Moore
Rosemary Clement-Moore writes smart, funny supernatural mystery novels including the Maggie Quinn: Girl versus Evil series about a psychic girl detective. She writes for young adults—and less young ones who, like her, refuse to entirely grow up. A recovering thespian, she now puts her drama queen skills to work writing books full of “smart (and smart ass) characters” (Kilatt), which allows her to research weird subjects, work in her pajamas and take frequent breaks to play Guitar Hero.

For the February meeting, which is also Valentine’s Day, we’re holding our “First Kiss” contest in lieu of a speaker. For those who wish to participate, submit a “first kiss” scene to be read aloud at the meeting. You can write something new or pull a scene from your current work in progress.Here’s how it will work. Bring your scene (1-2 pages) and turn them in to me at the beginning of the meeting. Please be sure to write your name at the top of the page. I will read the entries aloud to the group and then we vote for three winners: Hot, Hotter, and Hottest. Prizes are: (1) a bag of Dove chocolates; (2) a bottle of wine; and (3) a $10 gift card to Bath & Body Works.
We will continue to meet at the Merlot Room in Grapevine. 
Tracy Wolff will be speaking to the Yellow Rose at our January 10 meeting!
Tracy Wolff collects books, English degrees and lipsticks and has been known to forget where—and sometimes who—she is when immersed in a great novel. At six she wrote her first short story—something with a rainbow and a prince—and at seven she forayed into the wonderful world of girls lit with her first Judy Blume novel. By ten she’d read everything in the young adult and classics sections of her local bookstore, so in desperation her mom started her on romance novels. And from the first page of the first book, Tracy knew she’d found her life-long love. Now a writing professor at her local community college, Tracy writes for New American Library, Harlequin Superromance and Spice. She also gives workshops around the United States—teaching students how to write everything from poetry to literary narratives and short fiction and instructing teachers on how to teach writing. Her first novel, A Christmas Wedding, was published by Harlequin in November of 2008 and will be followed by five more books in 2009 that run the gamut from contemporary to paranormal to erotic suspense. She lives in Austin, Texas with her husband and three young sons.
Following the meeting, Tracy and fellow author Juliet Burns will have a book signing at the Barnes & Noble in Hurst. Hope to see you there!
