All About Taxes with Gary Light, CPA


Need to know what you can and cannot write off? Are you a hobbyist, self-employed, or other? Gary Light will be here to tell us about the complex world of taxes for writers.

We will also be nominating officers for next year and deciding on Christmas party plans.

From The Prez: Vicki Hudoba

Hi Outlaws,

Happy turkey month, I hope all of you survived those monsters of Halloween. During this busy fall season, which only leads in to a busier Christmas season, I hope all of you are remembering to take care of yourselves. Remember to pencil in down time and outlaw time.

For those of you that were unable to attend our October retreat, we missed you. The event was a success on all levels. To all of you that could make it, you guys are great and I thank you all for making Pam McCutcheon feel welcome. She had such positive things to say about all of you, both personally and professionally. I will have copies of her handouts at the November meeting for those of you who want them.

Speaking of the November meeting, I am hoping to see a full house, er room. The subject is taxes. Our speaker is experienced in dealing with our particular problems and issues. This program will contain good information for all of us no matter what stage we are at in our career. There will be a Q & A session so those pertinent questions ready.

See you there,

Vicki

On the wild Texas frontier, everyone has something to hide—and Emma York is no exception. Jake can see that she has secrets, but the sexy rancher's sure he can take care of her…if he can only find out what she needs protection from!

When her past shows up in Whirlwind, guns blazing, Emma must learn a hard lesson. Can she trust Jake…and trust her own heart?

Tall, Dark And Filthy Rich
Jill Monroe

What would you do if you hit the jackpot?

Private investigator Jessie Huell has always eschewed girlie things for the tools of her trade. She'd swap Jimmy Choos for a nightscope any day. But when she arrives as a guest on a popular Atlanta sex show, Jessie is unexpectedly reunited with high school crush and producer Cole Crawford—multi-million dollar lottery winner, igniter of panties...and bad, bad news for her.

Now Jessie is the official spokesperson for fling-havers everywhere—Cole and Jessie are doing hot, naughty things in the very same places she swore she'd avoid. As each incredible second explodes by, Jessie finds herself in deep trouble: if she's not careful she'll break the first rule of flingdom and it'll turn serious…which means she'll have to find the real dirt on Cole Crawford...because this man's too good to be true!
