I’ll be giving a workshop on one of my favorite topics Anti-heroes: Color Them Grey at the Rose City’s RWA mini conference Craft Your Story and a Career.I will be covering why anti-heroes have become so popular in fiction, film, and television series; the anti-hero’s essential nature and role in fiction; why ladies love outlaws; and discuss some of the newcomers in this character category such as Marty and Cohle of HBO’s True Detectives.

You find the information on the event here.   What a lineup! And RWA isn’t just for romance writers. This writing organization presents the best information on craft and the business of writing in this industry.

Everything you’ve always wanted to know about crafting your story and career comes together in one place on March 8^th, 2014. Join us for a fun filled gathering where you’ll learn from experts how to maintain pace, avoid clichés, build worlds, and take your writing to the next level.

You’ll also learn what it takes to navigate Google+ and create personal branding, and what editors expect and can do for you. And that’s not all! You’ll also learn about book cover design, skills for reading events, book sales, author signings, and the Oregon Regency Society.

Did I mention the cost is only $30 for members and $50 for nonmembers?And these folks are seriously fun?

See you there!
