Hi ,

 

Last weekend I attended my first in-person event. I took the train up with my agent and spent two days with other writers. I was masked whenever I was in public, which, of course, was hard as the hours ticked away, but was worth it. I get so much energy spending time with other writers.

 

Do you have a hobby or passion that nurtures your soul or energizes you? 

 

While I was at the conference, several interesting offers came my way. The conference organizer enjoyed my talk and encouraged me to come back next year! That's always a good sign, especially when I thought I messed up because I'd finished the talk sooner than I'd planned. Fortunately, there were lots of questions.

 

Another was from a well-known expert in the publishing industry who asked if I'd turn my talk into a webinar. 

 

Finally, I was asked about writing inspirational romance. That one I'm toying with. I still have to finish so many other books...the Valentine train novella, Valentine book 7, and Southern Heat book 4. 

 

There was one more interesting offer but I can't share it at this time. 

 

What a great trip!

 

I'm reading a marketing book that suggested that I ask my readers what they enjoyed about my books. The idea is that if I understand what attracts you to the books, I can market better to find more people similar to you to read them. 

 

If you could hit reply and tell me what you enjoy about them, I'd appreciate it!
