In the winter of 2017, I attended an all-day training event—that ended up not being what I expected. A little discouraged, I headed to the venue's closest lunch option. Right as I took my seat, I heard three other women at a nearby talk about the event. For some unknown reason, confidence took over, and I started a conversation. Lauri invited me over to join the group, only to discover I had sat down with a table of fellow writers. The training wasn't geared for writers, but we all had come with similar hopes (and disappointments) that this event would offer us useful skills.
Fortunately, the day was not a loss but rather a victory. I met three wonderful authors from the Salt Lake City area. Each shared their works-in-progress along with how their writings tapped into their passions, goals, and interests. Even more fun, I discovered that Lauri wrote psychological suspense, which I thought I wrote at the time (more on that later). We all had a wonderful time visiting. Then fast forward to five years later when Lauri happily announced the release of her literary psychological thriller Little Owl. Such a thrill to see the fruits of a writer's dedicated labor! Congratulations, Lauri!
