Aloha to RWA - RomVets' Call to Arms

Last Thursday, the RomVets - veterans who write romance - gathered for our annual Call to Arms ... with pens in hand!   Can you find me in the photo above?  I am not wearing an Aloha shirt!  Last Saturday, several members of the RomVets hosted this workshop:

Not Every Man in Uniform Is a Navy SEAL! Developing Military Characters to Steal Readers' Hearts (RESEARCH)

Speakers: Rogenna Brewer, AJ Brower, Geri Krotow, Heather Nickodem, Jo Anne Pinney, and Taylor Reynolds

A panel of authors who are also military veterans will share information on hot military career fields besides special ops; where to research information for military characters; typical military lifestyles, including deployments; and what it’s like to be a female in today’s military.

Rogenna Brewer (left) kicked off the discussion as the author
who writes about Navy SEALS.  AJ Brower (right) led the charge to promote other military jobs with honorable heroes.

Filling out the workshop is (third from left to right)
Geri Krotow, Heather Nickodem, Taylor Reynolds, and Jo Anne Pinney.

The audience appreciated the RomVets' inside knowledge of military life.

Here's your chance to "nominate" an ordinary job (military or civilian) to become an honorable hero - accountant?  engineer?     One randomly selected commenter from this week's blogs wins a book choice from my convention stash.  This giveaway is open to all readers.  Comments are open through Saturday, August 11, 10 pm in Hawaii.  I'll post the winner on Sunday, August 12.


Mahalo,


Kim in Hawaii
