Elizabeth Ayres, author of WRITING THE WAVE, KNOW THE WAY and two Sounds True audio albums, is the founder of the Center for Creative Writing: http://www.creativewritingcenter.com. For 20 years, this school has been committed to establishing for writers the conditions necessary for the creative spirit to flourish: nurturing instruction and supportive community. The Center is both training ground and launching pad, as many published writers who got started there can affirm. More importantly, it is a refuge where creativity takes pride of place, and every writer is encouraged to grow to his or her full potential. The Center offers online writing workshops and creative writing retreats.

This performance was filmed before a live audience at Christ Church, Chaptico, Maryland on May 3, 2009. Visit Christ Church at: http://www.christepiscopalchaptico.org
