Lori Rader-Day keynote speaker at Lakefly Writers Conference

Award winning author Lori Rader-Day spoke at the Lakefly Writers Conference in Oshkosh, Wisconsin yesterday. She told the audience that her first novel was written while she was working full-time, and devoted her lunch hour to her writing. Realistic goals are important, whether it is writing for a certain number of minutes per day, or a specific word count. Lori's first novel, "The
Black Hour," was winner of the Anthony Award for Best First Novel. "Little Pretty Things," her second book, won the Mary Higgins Clark Award. Her third book, "The Day I Died" is a finalist for the Chicago Writers Association's Book of the Year. "Under a Dark Sky" is her forthcoming book, due out in July.
