Aloha to the NJRW Conference (part 2)

  
Saturday morning kicked off with Connie Brockway and Eloisa James - The Fabulous Sexy Novella:

Join Connie and Eloisa for this special presentation on how the novella is experiencing a comeback.  This workshop will address ways to create a novella that readers will love. 

Connie and Eloisa worked well as a team with an infusion of humor!

This writer is ready for a Steampunk Tea Party with her cute hat from the Scarlet Fairy, www.scarletfairy.com.

Cathy Maxwell is ready for the Highlands with her handcrafted leather sporran ... 

... with the Maxwell motto, "I flourish" (link).    Check out the its designer, Macski's Highland Gear, www.macskis.com.

Cathy presented Empowering the Writer within You:

It takes courage to be a writer willing to put her work out there.  Cathy will discuss techniques and strategies for staying ahead in the business of writing and protecting our most precious resource - our creativity.

Each time Cathy speaks, she raises the bar in motivating writers (and bloggers) to achieve their dreams.   Had Cathy remained in the Navy, I believe Admiral Maxwell could have been an eloquent spokesperson for the Department of Defense. Alas, the Navy's loss was Romance's gain as she now writes heartfelt historicals.    

I am giving away two conference bags filled with fun swag plus:

Diana Cosby's HIS CAPTIVE
Diana Cosby's HIS WOMAN
Margaret Mallory's KNIGHT OF DESIRE
Eloisa James' KISS ME ANNABEL
Anthology, THE LADY MOST LIKELY, with Julia Quinn, Eloisa James, and Connie Brockway

Mahalo,
