Readers ... I'd love to talk with your group, either in person or via telephone. "Escape to the Mountains" through books, the writing life and process, literary vs. commercial fiction, or any other idea you wish to chat about.
Writers ... Intense Workshop sessions for writers provide direction and tools. Writers use their own work for exercises. For those beginning to write, the workshops generate ideas. For those finishing a draft, these workshops are an opportunity to strengthen their story.
Write Now!The 5 Cs of Mystery
Writers use their own mystery for the writing exercises on Character, Crime, Conflict, Conundrum and Climax.
Write Now! Get Started, Get Organized and Get Going on Novel/Memoir
Learn a plan to write and a method to keep organized. The "get going" part of the work session provides direction and tools for writing a better memoir or novel. Memories are family treasurers.

The Who, the What, the When, and the Why of a character.
Write Now! Plot Your Novel
