In addition to writing geezer-lit and
paranormal mysteries, I’m now a card-carrying member of Romance Writers of
America. This is only natural since I have geezer romance and paranormal
romance in my mystery novels. My writing friends, Lynda Hilburn and Karen
Graffenberger, have been encouraging me to join RWA, and I finally succumbed
and also signed up for Colorado Romance Writers as well.
This last Saturday, I made my first
foray into the world of romance writers by attending a mini-conference put on
by CRW and Heart of Denver Romance Writers. Lo and behold, I found fellow
mystery writers and online mystery critique partners, Becky Martinez and Darla
Barton, attending.
And another surprise—one other attendee
of the male persuasion, a brave soul who joined me in the group of fifty plus
(number not age) romance writers. I was not alone.
The conference was terrific. Speaker
Kristen Lamb wowed us with her insights and recommendations into the effective
use of social media. I took copious notes, including a full page of to-dos, and
came home to immediately update my blog site. I’ve also vowed to finally use Twitter
(groan) effectively. Yes, I’m officially twitterpated.
