Betty Kreier-Lubinski's "The Scam Artist" is published in the April issue of Futures. Betty, a Lifetime WVU member, is active in the Consistents study group.

Maryellen Brady-Kropp's short story, "Romancing the Trees," was published in the March issue of EThis!. This began as a writing exercise in WVU and is gradually expanding into a full-length story. Maryellen is a Lifetime WVU member who participates in the Romantics study group.

Charity Tahmaseb won second place in the Future's second annual 'Fire To Fly' Karen Besecker Mystery Writer Memorial Awards with her novel, "False Impressions." Futures won't award prizes if the entries don't meet their standards of excellence. That says a lot about the rigors Charity's novel went through to win second place. Charity hangs her hat in the Consistents study group and is a Lifetime WVU member. Read more about Charity at her web site.

Kudos to Betty Kimbrough, Brandon Kamins, Maryann Hazen-Stearns, Betty Kreier-Lubinski, Maryellen Brady-Kropp, Wynelda-Ann Shelton, Cynthia Pucci and Charity Tahmaseb for their inspiring writing accomplishments. Best wishes for many more successes in the weeks, months and years ahead!
