Last Chance MYFANS2023 Discount Code for #TWWBF2023! $10 Tix!!!

 

It's the last day to use discount code MYFANS2023* to get $19 off tickets for Saturday, October 14 day 1 of The Write Women Book Fest with more than 100 authors of fiction, non-fiction, poetry & kids books! 

In between my co-organizer duties, I'm prepping to moderate the featured panel, "Fantasy & Romance: Myth, Magic, Love, and Steamy Stories as Told by Women Authors" with Golden Angel, Mariah Ankenman, H.L. Brooks, Mary E. Jung, Leslye Penelope, and Maria Vale.  Golden's, Mariah's, and Mary's works are my TBR priorities this week. 

A Cat & Bones fan? Jeaniene Frost will be a panelist on the "Women Authors & Storytelling: FIction" and "Been There, Done That: Making Romance Stories New and Relatable" panels. Start thinking about your questions now. (Hey, we would've invited her as a featured panelist for the "Fantasy & Romance..." chat but she registered without any don't-you-know-who-I-am fanfare! We didn't realize we'd been granted the gift of her participation until after that panel was already set with an embarrassment of accomplished riches in panelists. We feel so lucky to have her presence along with that of all of the 100+ other talented, exciting authors.) 

This is the 5th year of TWWBF and we've grown significantly in authors and attendees each year. What hasn't grown? Our two-person organizing team beyond a brilliant part-time assistant for Heather (with week-of and day-of support from family and friends as voluntolders). Going to two days with day one at a hotel is a huge leap for us. We're working hard to make sure it's a soaring success and not a crash landing. 

We can't wait to see you on Saturday, October 14th at the Bowie Comfort Inn Conference Center from 12 noon - 5 p.m.! 

P.S. The time-sensitive nature of the discount code expiration bumped my planned post about my experiences at the Yale University Popular Romance Fiction: Literature of Hope Conference to next week. So much greatness packed into 48 hours! Connecting with #TWWBF2023 participants Briana Smith and Leslye Penelope was a delightful bonus. 

*A few people have had problems applying the discount code. If you're charged full price, please give us until the first week of October to issue the $19 (per ticket) refund. Our apologies for the inconvenience and malfunction are profuse and immediate!

Hot Love in the Kitchen & Travelling Through Time

Redemption of the Heart by Moni Boyce contemporary romance Love Snacks Publishing  8 January 2019 Despite addressing heavy themes of domestic violence, incarceration, and grief, Redemption of the Heart is a charming and sweet spicy read in the tradition of a 21st-century interracial homage to Janet Dailey’s monthly romance era. Gemma’s open-hearted ingénue contrasts starkly with Alex’s jaded workaholic. They struggle with a variety of challenges, but ethnicity isn’t one of them—a spin that feels particularly modern. Once readers commit to their suspension of disbelief regarding the cascading impact of lacks in due diligence by several characters, it’s easy to settle in to enjoy this love story. The recent public debate about the pros and cons of Gillette’s “We believe the best man can be” campaign ties in with the contradictory messages in the story threads about toxic masculinity. There’s a scene in which Alex apologizes to someone who was openly bragging among cowork...

A Million Lives Book Festival - An Unfortunate Exception, Not the Event Rule

[2 decorative stickers on lined writing paper from left to right: a round smiley face arranged upside down to look like a frown and a round smiley face arranged right sight up] By now most bookish folk and others have heard about the inaugural A Million Lives Book Festival held at the Baltimore Convention Center last Friday and Saturday. To recap: according to participating authors and attendees many promises were made and almost all of them were broken.  As outreach director and co-organizer for The Write Women Book Fest scheduled to host its 6th event Saturday, July 19 & Sunday, July 20 of this year at the Bowie Comfort Inn & Conference Center in Bowie, Maryland, U.S.A., my reaction to the feedback being shared about A Million Lives is nightmarish. Even though we aren't connected to it in any way or familiar with the event organizer or her company, our completely unrelated event has felt some minor residual effects because people are worried. And that's an understanda...
