Sharon McAnear of Durango recently wrote to CWP to announce the publication of her first novel, Corner of Blue.

Dear Karen,

Thank you, Colorado Writing Project, for lighting a fire under my pen to publish a novel. As of last week, my first novel,  Corner of Blue, is on the bookshelf of our local bookstores as well as all the online booksellers’ sites! It is the first in a series of five novels that all began with a short story I wrote in Karen Crawford’s CWP class here in 2001. The first chapter begins with that very story. The CWP pen Karen gave me was the same one that I used to sign the contract with my publisher. No lie.

Thanks again,

Sharon McAnear

Congratulations, Sharon!
