The Desert Nights, Rising Stars
Writers Conference

Karen Shiffman Lateiner, M.Ed. is the author of Timeless Dance: A Story of Change and Loss, a memoir about gender change and loss. Her attendance in a Desert Nights Rising Stars Conference served as a catalyst for telling her story. Since publishing her memoir years later, she has been invited to speak in a variety of venues about current issues relating to gender diversity. To encourage other writers to enjoy nature and to write their stories, she created and facilitates a Hike and Write Program in Phoenix. Learn more about her at www.kslateiner.com.
