Community Involvement

Guest Speakers

Dreaming in Ink enjoys having published authors present to our group as a learning session.

Author Lissa Marie Redmond, born and raised in Western New York, presented at our March 2022 meeting. Lissa provided us with tips on writing and publishing and answered our questions – of which there were many.

As a detective, she handled several high-profile cases and appeared on numerous television shows including Dateline, The Nightmare Next Door, and Murder by Numbers. After being a law enforcement detective for over 22 years, she retired to pursue a “normal” life and she became a writer.

Our July 2024 Meeting

We welcomed guests Bambi Lynn, author and friend Becky Zilliox to our meeting at the Aurora Town Public Library to hear the ins-and-outs of book marketing.

Bambi is the process of writing her third book which she will self-market, implementing her successful program with her first two publications. We can now incorporate some of Bambi's ideas into our existing plan for our second anthology, "Another Unique Anthology" to be published in late summer.
