San Bernardino County, California. A joint legislative resolution from members of the California Assembly and State Senate proclaimed October 17-23 as “California Writers Week.” Led by Assemblyman Tim Leslie, the resolution is endorsed by the California Library Association. The week honors writers native to the state and coincides with the 95th anniversary of the California Writers Club, a group whose origins date back to the turn-of-the-century literary movement in the San Francisco Bay area.
Local author Diana L. Guerrero is an active member of the Inland Empire Chapter of the California Writers Club. She is also the founder of the Alliance of Writers and produces writing events throughout southern California. A native Californian, the scribe grew up in San Pedro and now resides and writes from her home in the mountains of San Bernardino.
Her book, What Animals Can Teach Us about Spirituality: Inspiring Lessons from Wild and Tame Creatures, is an armchair safari into the animal world and features regional stories. The text, released in November of 2003 entered into a second printing in June. Guerrero is currently working on her next book due out in 2006.
During the week long celebration, Guerrero will be autographing her books and joining other authors at events throughout southern California. She encourages you to join the festivities at bookstores in your local area. For more information visit www.calwriters.org or www.arkanimals.com.
