The Shreveport Writers Club held its February meeting in the Reading Room of the Shreve Memorial Library Hamilton/South Caddo Resource Center in Shreveport.
The writers and guests welcomed special guest, Maple Sudds, author of the autobiography No Blood in the Turnip: Memoirs of a Co-Dependent.

Ms. Sudds answered questions from the audience and discussed how writing the book has impacted her life and her family.
Ms. Sudds sold and signed copies of her book for patrons.
