After preliminary introductions regarding plans for the group, the main topic of discussion for our first meeting will be "Literary Agents: How to Find One and How to Get Published." You can come to participate, or you can come just to listen. The event is open to everyone, and this meetup is ideal for writers of any range and talent. We want to welcome you. The only thing members are asked to bring is an open mind, a positive attitude, and the goal of seeing their work completed, published, and in bookstores. This is going to be fun. Come join us!

One of Canada's most engaging performers, singer/songwriter Jann Arden hit paydirt in the US with the 1995 single 'Insensitive'' from her album 'Living Under June.' The seven-time Juno Award winner's latest release is 'Love is the Only Soldier.' Canadian vocalist Holly Cole isn't one of those artists who falls into any one category.
