Temporary problem with our website

Unfortunately our web hosting company did not give us advance notice that our account was coming due. We had paid several years in advance for the service, but nothing was sent to warn us that we would lose our service or any deadline in which to pay.

So this morning we discovered that our account has been suspended.

We will be paying to get our website turned back on as it is an important communication tool to our members and to the literary communities at large.

Until further notice, if you have any messages you want sent to us, feel free to leave a comment here.

Thanks,

Linda McCabe - Membership Chair, Redwood Writers
