October 13th meeting: Active Shooter Scenarios; The Long Haul of Revisions

Active shooter training evolved from attempts by law enforcement, as well as ordinary individuals, to mitigating the impact of an active shooter incident.  What does it entail? What should you do, or not do, during such an incident?  What goes into anticipating how an active shooter behaves?  Please join us in welcoming Chief Brian Seastone of the University of Arizona Police Department, who will discuss this kind of training and the subject of active shooters.

We’ll have a delicious lunch, and a fun book drawing.

In our afternoon session, author Alice Hatcher will present “Keeping it Fresh, Keeping it Real: Surviving the Long Haul of Revisions.”  This presentation will focus on practical ways to maintain morale and define manageable tasks during the arduous process of revising a novel.  An author of literary fiction, Hatcher will discuss strategies applicable to authors regardless of genre. The talk will conclude with a Q&A and open discussion.
