What a wonderful opportunity to explore the world of arts, music, writing, dance, and theater through the contribution of members from the Minnesota branch of NLAPW, founded in 1927. Their branch has created a place for education, camaraderie, and inspiration.

The stories consist of an inspired and inspiring group of professional women of the arts. Their members are writers of fiction, nonfiction, children's books and poetry, painters, photographers, illustrators, musicians, composers, directors, producers, and actors. Their branch's mission is to encourage the production of creative work of professional standard in Art, Letters, Music, and allied professions.

Through outreach activities and programming, they provide educational, creative, and professional support to members and aspiring artists in these disciplines. The award-winning artists and writers featured in this anthology are just a few of the Minnesota Branch members.

I enjoyed the multitude of works showcased in this anthology. The colorful fusion of writing and images is a delightful addition to the words on the page.

Dance With Me is available on Amazon and Barnes and Noble, in libraries and bookstores, in paperback and eBook format. More about the Minnesota Pen Women online at https: //www.PenWomenMinnesota.org.
