Meet some of our great members:
Goldie Edwards
"Enthusiastic novice" describes my writing experience. After a lifetime purchasing enough novels to single handedly support numerous authors, I have decided to take time in my busy life as a parent and teacher to learn more about the writing craft and write down some of my own stories. Stay tuned!

Rose Gorham - HeRA President
Lisa Snider
I became a HeRA member in 1994. During my membership I have learned a wealth of information about writing, speaking in public and things about myself i did not realize I could do. I have served as By Laws Secretary and President through out the years. but the most interesting part of being a HeRA and RWA member is the people i have met, the places writing has taken me and the courage it has brought me.
Cindy Tady - HeRA Vice President
I will write anywhere, standing in line at the grocery store, at dental appointments or walking the dog. Although when walking my Labrador, I usually just keep repeating what I want to write until she stops dragging me through the neighborhood and I can get to my computer!

Pro Pin winner
I started writing because I thought "How hard could it be?" . Duh!! I love writing, even when I hit the dreaded "dry spell of doom". My characters argue with me. (I get enough of that from my two cats and my husband, thank you!) The lead me places I had not planned on going. I love all of them. Even the vile ones. It's the only time you can kill someone and not go to jail.
My hobbies include belly dancing and sewing. I am a retired personal chef and a new Grandmother. Did I mention I have two cants that employ my husband and I as hired help.
