SUMMARY:Author Talks: Belle Fourche Writes
DESCRIPTION:Author Talks take place in the Matthews Fireplace Room every Tuesday at 12:30. \nJoin us on Tuesday\, March 29 at 12:30 pm for our next makeSPACE at the Matthews Author Talk with some of the authors from Belle Fourche Writes. Author Talks will take place in the Matthews Fireplace Room. \n  \nAbout the Author\nJean Helmer writes flash memoir and poetry. Her topics center on ranch life\, on dealing with radioactivity\, on experiences in a one-room country school\, and on nature. She will read “Prom Night\,” published in Oakwood\, 2019. \nKathy Bjornestad is a newly retired children’s librarian who has been writing most of her life. She has experimented with poetry\, essay\, short story\, adult historical romance\, and young adult and middle-grade fiction. She has been a finalist in the Colorado gold Writing Contest and in the Pikes Peak Writing Contest\, is a Wyoming Fellowship for Creative Fiction recipient\, and received an honorable mention for Wyoming’s Neltje Blanchan Award. One of her short stories appeared as first place winner in a Scribes Valley anthology called “Escape Your World.” She has also been published in Christian Science Monitor’s “Home Forum” and placed multiple times in the Wyoming Writers Annual contest. She currently enjoys membership in Bear Lodge Writers\, Wyoming Writers (past president)\, Northern Colorado Writers and the Belle Fourche Writers Group. \nMargaret “Margie” Bolte is recently retired from the US Public Health Service as a Commissioned Officer and held positions of Safety and Health Officer and Public Health Educator. Some of her writing reflects growing up in a small town in southern Colorado in the 1960s and 1970s. For her\, writing began when she took part in local writing classes and attending the Belle Fourche Writing group. The practice revealed to her the many memories she has of her childhood and young adulthood which she did not know even existed. Using words to tell her story has been gratifying. \nDr. Meg English is a recently retired language arts teacher. She and her husband John have two grown sons and six grandchildren. Her activities include golf\, yoga\, painting\, drawing and volunteer work for the Northern Hills CASA program. Meg teaches community education classes in writing and facilitates the Belle Fourche Writers Group. While she has written essays and poetry\, Meg’s current interest is fiction. She writes to make sense of life and its opportunities\, relationships\, politics and workplace events. Stories bring context to our lives and help to explain events and emotions that are sometimes difficult to understand. Meg’s work can be found in various publications. \nEric Beeman is a retired electronics technician whose experience included maintaining radar equipment for an Air force government contractor in Colony\, Wyoming. He’s always enjoyed a good fiction book or movie and that\, he says\, is why he likes to dream up stories. Eric has learned how to put his stories to paper and is currently learning how to be more observant of details.
