Welcome Aboard New Members!
Cindy L. Freeman, a new member of CBW has just completed her thir d novel, T he
Dark Room, Jeanne Johansen of High Tide has accepted it for publication, citing it as
"brilliant." Now that she is retired, Cindy enjoys writing her almost-daily blog which can be
accessed on Facebook: Cindy Loomis Freeman at cindylfreeman.blogspot.com or
www.cindylfreeman.com
Peggy Garland is a r etir ed lawyer who has always wanted to wr ite. She published a book on legal
advice, but really wants to write are novels. She has written a historical novel about Robert Carter, III, who
was a planter in Westmoreland County in the late 18th Century and who freed his 500 slaves. She wants to
get it published. She lives in Montross.
Bill Porter lives in Kilmar nock. Raised ar ound the wor ld as a Navy J unior , he is a gr aduate of the
University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill with an International Business degree from The George Washington University.
He is also a Vietnam Vet, a retired Naval Officer, a researcher for the first edition of the best seller "What
Color is Your Parachute and enjoys helping individuals with their Career/Life Planning process. He is a
retired senior federal official from the field of National Security, an active Board Member and philanthropic supporter of several nonprofit organizations and is listed in the 1984-85 edition of Who's Who in the
World. He is writing about his life and family’s life history as a legacy for his two children and six
grandchildren.
Michael Page lives in Gloucester . Gr owing up as an “Army Brat” led to his career as an Army officer.
After retiring from the Army, he had a second career in the world of finance and worked as an investment
adviser as well as financial systems IT consultant to Fortune 500 banks and insurance companies.
Following his second retirement, he rediscovered his love of writing. Writing and communication have
always been a special gift in his careers. He especially enjoys telling stories, both in prose and poetry. “In
the last year I've taken a writing course at VMFA, started a work of short fiction, and written a half dozen
poems. I find ideas for poetry through inspirational moments that seem to occur randomly in the course of
a day.” His aim is to continue to write poems and to produce a collection of short stories before attempting
a more ambitious work about my family history.
Daniel Finck says that in his “home office there's a file drawer crammed with sketches, outlines and good
ideas that I never had the time or energy to fill out and polish off. A lifetime of working with people and
listening to their conversations gave me a wealth of material to draw from or take off from once I get to
writing. It's hard to get started, though. I took literature and writing classes at VCU in the 90s, but working
for a living and raising teenagers took up all my time back then. One novel (self-published) found its way
out but it was a real grind while I was fully employed. Now, I'm mostly retired and I have more time. As
much as I feel ready, I find it hard to work in a vacuum. Associating with working writers seems just the
thing to keep me moving ahead.

CBW Luncheon Meeting - Thursday, September 15, 2016 "Experiences in
Writing African-American History"
Presented by Educator Storyteller Historian
Daisy Howard-Douglas
Author and storyteller Daisy Howard-Douglas will speak at the Chesapeake Bay Writers luncheon meeting Thursday,
September 15 at the White Dog Bistro in Mathews. She will share her experiences in writing African American
history, the difficulties in locating information sources and some of the surprises she encountered.
“Miss Daisy,” as she is known to those close to her, credits her storytelling skills and great love of storytelling to her
father, Papa Linzy, and his great grandfather, Grampa Tibbs, a former slave on a plantation near Richmond. Her
contributions to her community and the state of Virginia are numerous. She has more than 100 awards, certificates,
and trophies honoring her humanitarian efforts. The retired educator has published ten books including Jad and Old
Annanias, Daisy’s Bayou Tales, They Came from Virginia, and African-American Military, Westmoreland County,
Virginia.
Howard-Douglas founded the Westmoreland Weavers of the Word Storytellers’ Guild in
1998 and writes human-interest stories for local newspapers. Her research and advocacy
led to the placement of four highway markers highlighting the contributions of
Westmoreland County’s African Americans--a buffalo soldier, two revolutionary
soldiers, the oldest Baptist church, and famed Tuskegee Airmen. She assisted the
Northumberland County’s marker committee honoring a former slave, The Reverend
Paymus Nutt, who was the founder of four Baptist churches in the area, First Baptist
Church, Zion—Lottsburg, Shiloh, and Lively Hope.
She now resides in Sandy Point, Virginia (Westmoreland County, the birthplace of
George Washington and James Monroe. She and her husband, James Allen, have one
daughter, Jewel Linzy. She enjoys reading, traveling, creative writing and storytelling.
The public is welcome on the 15th, but advance reservations are required by
September 10.

Dear Virginia Writers Club Members,
It is my great privilege to announce The Virginia Writers Club will publish an anthology of the best writing from the
members in celebration our 100th anniversary as a writers club.
We made the announcement at the Symposium on August 6. Now, it's time to let the rest of the membership know
what we are planning.
The first element of our centennial celebration is the anthology. I hope each of you look at the requirements and send
us your very best writing. Yes, it can have been published before, as long as you have reprint permission. Yes, it can
be part of a larger work, for those novelists out there. Pick a representative excerpt. Yes, there are length restrictions
and the inevitable style guidelines. http://virginiawritersclub.org/Anniversary-Anthology
There are deadlines for submission. You'll find them in the link as well.
Not everything will make it into the final edition, but rest assured the selection committee will pick the
best of the best. I urge you to sort through your writings and send them in.
The anthology will be professionally published, so it will be something you'll be proud to give to your
friends and family for holiday presents in 2017!

A linguistics professor was lecturing to his English class one day. "In English," he said,
"a double negative forms a positive. In some languages, though, such as Russian, a
double negative is still a negative.
However, there is no language wherein a double positive can form a
negative."
A voice from the back of the room piped up, "Yeah, right."

feel free to call the contact person listed. Come join our community of talent!
Williamsburg Groups
Williamsburg Writers Critique Group - 2nd and 4th Thursdays 1 p.m.
The group meets at the home of Elizabeth Brown. Members email their work to all members around three or four
days in advance to give others time to review it. The average length is six to ten pages. The other members review
and critique the work and come prepared to give oral feedback to the writer. Some bring a hard copy to support their
thoughts and others send emails with their remarks. Each writer has a turn getting feedback and critiquing all the
others. The average time we meet is two and a half hours. If you don't have any work to submit that week, that is
fine. We all have down times. All remarks are meant to be helpful and to support the writers in their quest to improve their art. If you have any questions or you would like to attend, please contact Elizabeth by email ecomptonlee@yahoo.com or phone 804-654-1117.

Board Member Spotlight:
Ellen Dugan, Vice President
Ellen grew up in Delaware and has lived in California, Connecticut and
Georgia prior to Virginia. She divides her time between Richmond, a
city you can manage, and Lively, a place of beauty, peace and serenity. Both stimulate the imagination in different ways, she says. Before
retiring she worked in corporate
communications, writing executive speeches, training materials and
presentations. She currently writes a Notebook Column for Chesapeake
Style and is re-reading works by Peter DeVries, her favorite author.
If she’s ever asked what she’d like as a last meal, she reports that it would be roast turkey with cranberries
and mashed potatoes.
Not very original she knows, but oh so full of memories that nourish the soul!
