WORKSHOPS:
I'm teaching two writing workshops in July.
“Keeping the Reader Reading the First Chapter”
Drawing a reader into the first chapter of your novel is more than an exciting beginning, more than a “cute meet,” more than a sexy hero and a feisty heroine. Step by step, I'll show you the craft needed to draw the reader into your novel and make her eager to keep reading.

“Magic, Monsters and Amour: Creating a Believable Paranormal World”
Are vampires, fairies, and space aliens real? If you create the right background for your novel, they will be to your reader.
Marilynn Byerly, lauded by reviewers for "building a world that combines both integrity and depth in an entertaining way," shows you how to develop a fantasy, science fiction, or paranormal world from scratch...how to invent creatures to populate it...and how to make your novel utterly believable. She'll teach you the ins and outs of research, fresh ways to use creatures like vampires, and the means to avoid various traps many authors have fallen into.

I’m interested in your perspective on people having life insurance from a believer’s point of view. I read a book many years ago written by a preacher who basically said if you believed in the Lord you should not have any kind of insurance because that indicated you didn’t trust the Lord to provide for you in a time of need. That disturbed me since I was always taught to look out for myself and prepare for adversity.
