Sharen Watson, Founder
of Words For The Journey Christian Writers Guild
Director of WFTJ - Rocky Mountain Region
Sharen@WordsForTheJourney.org
 Sharen
Watson resides in Highlands Ranch, Colorado with her husband of 25 years,
their youngest son, Scot, Gia the Lhasa, and Sadie the Calico. Yes, they
all made the eighteen hour drive from Spring, Texas to their new home in
Colorado on August 4, 2005. But, the Watson's have not cleared out of
Texas completely. Two grown children, Shawna (along with her husband,
Hector) and Stephen (Texas Tech Red Raider) still reside in the Lone Star
state. Sharen is currently working toward the publication of her new book
series, tentatively titled, Hang In There, Honey! Watch for
submission guidelines to be posted soon. She has been published in
numerous anthologies, and has joined Allison Bottke (author and editor of
the God Allows U-Turns series and God Answers Prayer series)
as part of her editing team and as a contributing author.
Sharen's passion is ministering to women (retreats, conferences and
ministry events). She also ministers to writers (WFTJ, as well as other
writing events, i.e., conferences and workshops). Please email her
at IRite4Him@aol.com
for information, or if you simply want to say hello. She would love to
hear from y'all!
Having passed
the Southeast Texas Region Guild's leadership torch to Linda Kozar,
Sharen's desire is to continue communicating with all of WFTJ's members
(Texas and Colorado). Please visit her monthly newsletter, The
Founder's Pen, to stay updated and be encouraged in your writing
journey.

Linda
Kozar, Co-Founder of Words For The Journey Christian Writers Guild
Director of WFTJ - Southeast Texas Region
Zarcom1@aol.com
 Linda
P. Kozar is published in a variety of venues
and is currently working on four non-fiction books and one fiction novel.
For the past thirteen years she has led a weekly Women's Bible Study in
her home. The goal is to provide a pleasant and peaceful oasis for women
from the troubles of everyday life, a secure environment where the deepest
prayer needs of women could be addressed in confidence -- without judgment
or gossip. Since it began, Coffee, Tea and Thee has played host to
hundreds of women from different churches, races and economic status.
Happily married to Michael, her husband of 17 years, and balance of her
time is devoted to their two beautiful daughters, Katie and Lauren -- a
teen and a tween -- and the family's black-and-white terrier princess
named "Patches."

Janetta's article about the perils and
pitfalls of husbands and wives working together was featured in the July

find out.
Janetta's other interests are talking, making people laugh
and enjoying life. Oh, and we can't forget a little HGTV
