Australia and New Zealand!

Are you in Australia or New Zealand?  I’m coming to visit. 😉

I’m delighted to be included in the lineups of speakers for the Romance Writers of Australia and the Romance Writers of New Zealand in August.

Over the years I’ve heard so many great things about these writers conferences and I’m honored to be included in the roster of authors speaking at them this year, including Mary Jo Putney and Anne Gracie, both long-time friends, as well as authors I admire and have learned so much from. We have become friends from years of sharing conversations at writers conferences. They are bastions of sanity in what can be a very crazy business.

The workshops I’ll be giving — in addition to “Lessons I’ve Learned in Indie Publishing” above — include “Survival Kit for Writers Who Don’t Write Right,” “Your Characters’ Emotional Landscape,” “I Wished I’d Known Then What I Know Now” Panel, and RWA’s closing address.

So I know I’ll be in Melbourne and Auckland for those great conferences. What other places I’ll get to see is still up in the air.

I’ll keep you posted as my plans firm up. First, I have to research visas and such. Heck, even that makes me smile!
