(photo courtesy of Jody Feldman's website)Today's weather for St. Peters: Mostly sunny, high 35 degrees. Right now it's 19 degrees, but the sun is shining and birds are chirping and flitting among the bushes outside the window.
The Saturday Writers chapter of the Missouri Writers' Guild hosts Jody Feldman, author of THE GOLLYWHOPPER GAMES, at their December 6 meeting.
Jody holds a Bachelor of Journalism degree from the University of Missouri, which has led her to write a television special, a travel book, speeches, all means of advertising, and now - more fulfilling than that giant fortune cookie message she was assigned to create - The Gollywhopper Games (HarperCollins/Greenwillow, 2008), her first children's novel.
