UPCOMING ONLINE WORKSHOPS
June 2013
WORKSHOP: Yummy Heros
INSTRUCTORS: Jackie Ivie & Teresa Bodwell
DATE: June 3 - 18, 2013
TYPE: Mini, (2 week) classes, consisting of at least 2 lessons per week
COST: $10 for CRW and HCRW members, all others $20
WORKSHOP DESCRIPTION: It is almost a truism in romance that our readers must relate to the heroine and fall in love with the hero. This workshop will focus on techniques the romance writer can use to portray her hero, how to depict him, who he is, and define those traits, characteristics, and nuances that make him a hero. Who is this man that will have readers swooning and turning the pages wanting more? This workshop answers that and more!
INSTRUCTOR BIOS:
Jackie Ivie is a native of Utah and attended the University of Utah on a full scholarship in Fine Art. She relocated to Wyoming for several years before moving to Alaska, where she lives with her husband, Two dogs, and the cat who is in charge of it all. Now retired, she spends her days puttering around with needle crafts, music, drawing, gardening, and reading. And if that doesn’t keep her occupied, she can be found researching and then writing about larger than life heroes and heroines, in other magnificent centuries, amid the grandeur of history…all while glancing occasionally at the magnificent, snow-capped mountain views through her windows. Jackie's newest titles for 2012 are SHOULD THERE BE, Vampire Assassin League #8 to be released in July, A PERFECT KNIGHT FOR LOVE, Book 9 in The Clans series and HIGHLAND HUNGER, Anthology are scheduled for release in September. You can visit Jackie at her website: http://www.jackieivie.com/
Teresa Bodwell lives in the West, where the mountains, rivers and sweeping plains inspire her stories of rugged characters. Tough heroines and courageous heroes who struggle for survival, for family and for love. She served in the U.S. Army where she helped make the world safe for John Phillip Sousa marches. After leaving the service, she received a BA from UCLA and went on to law school at the University of Oregon. As an attorney she has learned that life can be unfair and a happy outcome is not always possible. She enjoys writing stories where happy endings are guaranteed.
