There are a lot of talented authors in the State of Alaska.
I am privileged to know many of them and enjoy being part of the Romance Writers of America, Sisters in Crime Alaska Chapter and the Alaska Chapter of Romance Writers of America. (& currently a board member of AKRWA)
he AKRWA website also features blogs written by these wonderful Alaskan Authors & offers links to many of their books – please join us for a review of great reading!
(and if you are a writer, please consider entering the Alaska Break Up Contest held annually in the spring.)
