Wine Wednesday

Membership is reopen for our Sage & Dragonfly Bookclub. We're a topical club, discussing books we've read that relate to the topic. It's a fun way to share about your favorite books and find out about books or authors you have not yet read! We have been too full to add members for awhile, but we have space right now.Click Wine Wednesday if you're interested!

Published Authors Network

Next Meeting: June 13 @ 2:30pm

Scrivener Alliance Startup Event

A Parade of Horribles by Matt Dinniman will be released on May 12! For you Dungeon Crawler Carl lovers, #8 is coming!

This is a humorous, sometimes snarky, LitRPG series that I am absolutely shocked at how much I enjoyed. Lots of weird aliens and buggy guts, but also interesting, intelligent, and darkly humorous.

Set-up: About a man, Carl, and a cat, Princess Donut, who are forced to survive a deadly, intergalactic game show after Earth is ravaged and turned into an 18-level death-trap dungeon. If you're squeamish, prefer more intellectual or respectful lit, probably not for you.

Call, email, or text us if you want to
pre-order.
