Steve Havill writer workshop appreciated by local novice writers

Steven F. Havill, author of 27 novels.  His latest Posadas County mystery, Come Dark , is due on the shelves April 2016.

Our favorite local* author, Steve Havill, gave a writers workshop on March 14 at the library.  This workshop was the last workshop at the Capitan Public Library provided by a grant from Otero County Electric Coop. 

All six workshops were a smashing success.  Thanks to Pearl Tippin for creating and organizing the workshops, to Otero County Electric Coop for the grant and to Preston Stone for giving us the heads up that grants are available from OCEC for organizations such as our library for community education and enrichment.

Once again, thanks to Pearl for the wonderful assortment of art workshops: singing, acting, fabric painting, drawing (with confidence) and two writing clinics.  And hats off to our chef, Teri Neff, for the fantastic catered meal at the Havill writer workshop.

* (well, technically Havill's not local anymore since he moved away from Lincoln County, but WE still consider him one of our favorite LOCAL authors AND he is still a New Mexico author with  novels set in New Mexico.)
