All are welcome and wanted. To keep away bad Vibes, please refrain from discussing religion or politics. This week, Free to Be Me presented Brett Battles, a USA Today bestselling author to talk about his books, writing and more. About Brett Battles. Bestselling author Brett Battles is that kid back in 6th grade who convinces his teacher that, as an assignment, everyone should author a short story that is at least 10 pages long. He received an A- on his project, while another student (name withheld) received an A+. Brett’s not bitter about this, nor does he ever think about the incident. Mostly. Since that unfortunate injustice, Brett has written over forty novels, a few novellas, and several short stories, and is a USA Today bestselling author. Our conversations can get lively, if you’ve a specific need to participate please let Patty and her host know when you come into the room. We would like our call to be safe, respectful, and welcoming to All. Patty says, “Bring a book and a friend to the call where the fun never ends. Subscribe to the Free to Be email list.
