Gini Koch, Featured Faculty Member

I don't know about you, but October equals watching Hocus Pocus and finding ways to work "dead man's toes" into conversation. It's a moral imperative because HALLOWEEN!!

annnny-hooo ...as the leaves continue to turn and the moon does its waxing and waning thing, Gini heads out to spend this weekend in Richmond, Virginia. 

If you've ever wanted to get writing advice from Gini - she's part of the Faculty for the 14th Annual James River Writers Conference - so here's your shot.
