In April I attended the Erma Bombeck Humor Writing Conference in Dayton, OH. This is the fifth conference (occurs every two years) and I have attended the last four conferences.

Other notable speakers were Mike Peters, author & illustrator of Mother Goose & Grimm, Craig Wilson, feature writer for USA Today and may more. For photos of the conference, check out my Press Pics.
