Book Fair for Literacy - come on by

I'm packing my bags for the New England Chapter of Romance Writers of America's conference this weekend.

There's going to be a book fair for literacy, meaning proceeds from the sale of the books, which the authors will autograph, go to promote literacy. It's from 4 - 6 p.m. at the Sheraton Framington. Please come on by, say hello and support helping others learn to read.

I won't be blogging until next week, but I've lined up a Special Guest Blogger for tomorrow. Do stop in and see what she's got to say about that always-fascinating subject, an author's "voice."

Until then, so long!

Back to Boston!

I just booked a flight to Boston at the end of March, because I'm presenting a workshop at a conference put on by the New England Chapter of Romance Writers of America. My workshop is entitled "What Lies Beneath: Adding Layers To Your Characters and Conflicts." You can read more about it here.

The trip from Logan International Airport to the hotel promises to be either (a) expensive and/or (b) an Amazing Race experience. I'm going a day early, so if I can't find somebody else who's going to be going to the conference on the same flight, I may very opt for the Amazing Race version. Just because, you know, why not? It'll make for some fun anecdotes, like the time I was trying to get a conference in New Jersey during a torrential downpour after the person who was supposed to go with me left without me and I wound up sharing a cab with a mother and sick child. Now that was a memorable trip!
