Hey all! If you’re in or around the Chicago metro area – this Friday and Saturday I’ll be at the Chicago North  Spring Fling Writers’ Conference!  I’m one of the headliners along with Kristan Higgins and Mary Balough (RIGHT? I’m such a fangirl of them both!). The conference will be held at the Chicago Marriott Northwest in Hoffman Estates. 

I’ll be kicking things off on Friday (maybe half a glass of wine first so I don’t get up there and freeze, LOL!) with my speech, followed by a panel with me and the other two headliners and then it’s dinner.

First thing Saturday morning at 9:30 is the book signing, which is open to the public and is going to feature many fantastic authors! Here’s a list of who’ll be signing – The bookstore coordinator for this signing is fantastic and it’s looking like there’ll be a whole lot of my backlist available to sign.

On Saturday at 4:15 I’ll be presenting my workshop

Using It All: Writing Sex That Not Only Steams Up the Pages, But Uses the Emotional Magnitude of Intimacy To Drive the Heart of Your Novel

Presented by Lauren Dane

Sweet to scorching hot, sex is one of the most important and emotionally rich events your characters get up to over the course of their story.  During this workshop, NYT and USA Today bestselling author Lauren Dane will talk about different approaches to sex and sexuality between your characters to use every bit of that potential to layer your character’s journey to their HEA.

 

You can see a list of all the workshops and panels at this link. 

I’m super excited about this conference so I hope to see you there!
