___The fireworks are just starting!

_Tradition has it that the 2nd anniversary gift is cotton, and we've created an anniversary issue you'll definitely cotton to! Brighten up your summer with illuminating inspiration from none other than bestseller Karen White. Freedom also rings through the wisdom of historical writer Rosalie T. Turner and political novelist Steve Piacente.
     There's always room for amor, and Joan Johnston is here to dish on character-driven conflict, along with Kathleeen Y'Barbo, riding the rustic romantic range. Ron Rash shares the road he took on his way to becoming a New York Times bestselling author.
          Meet author Rachel S. Neal, winner of this spring's Southern Writers fiction contest, whose books breathe new life into familiar episodes from Genesis and beyond. Discover just how Kathy Lynn Harris sold 40,000 eBooks her first time out. And Julie Cantrell is here to spell out the ten things they don't warn published authors about.
     While it's been said that writers should write what they know, that isn't always possible, and Ann Hite is here to help out.  Want a book cover that sells itself? You don't want to miss artist Natasha Brown's "The Look of Your Book." And you'll be itching to slip some humor into your manuscript after enjoying titter-worthy tips from Doug Alderson.
     You'll also get to know children's author Tommie Townsley, songwriter Lynn DeShazo, suspense writer Creston Mapes, and poet Sandra Beasley. Meanwhile, learn the unique inspirations that fuel the irresistible imaginations of Kathleen Varn and A.J. Scudiere.
    Get ready for all the summer writers conferences via social media, with advice from Edie Melson. You'll also be recharged by instructional articles from Kimberly Rae, Vicki Carroll, and Rodney Page, along with our regular columnists Tracy Crump, George Lucas, Barbara Ragsdale and Terry Whalin. And we're proud to give multiple award-winning humorist Lenore Skomal the Last Word.
