We really needed the inspiration, energy, and comraderie from the 2022 Pennwriters Conference in Lancaster, PA. It was our second in-person event since the pandemic, but this one felt like old times.
Keynote speakers were Jonathan Maberry ...
...and Jon Sprunk .
We each taught two classes. Jason revived his Folk Yeah! and Rural Noir workshops.
And I brought back Space Opera Is Still Queen and Pick Your Punk.
There was a Saturday evening luau to celebrate Jonathan's love of Hawaiian shirts. First photo is , Larry Ivkovich , and Jon Sprunk.

And with Heather Desuta and Abigail Drake.
We caught up with old friends like Carol Silvis and Annette Dashofy...
