September 11 Rim Country Chapter meeting

The Arizona Professional Writers Rim Country Chapter monthly meeting will be held Wednesday,  1:00 p.m. September 11, 2019 at the Majestic Rim Retirement Home on Tyler Parkway in Payson. We welcome members and guests.
 

Brenda Whiteside

The speaker, Brenda Whiteside, is the author of suspenseful, action-adventure romance who writes stories of discovery and love entangled with suspense.

 
What is a suspense novel? Reviewers get it wrong. On-line articles group suspense in with mystery. It might not be important for a reader to know the difference between mystery and suspense, but it’s important for the author. Readers are drawn to certain authors and certain stories, and they might not be able to tell you why. But it’s important for the author to nail down their genre, especially in a series, so the reader knows what to expect. Brenda will cover the differences and share her half-dozen tips on how to approach writing a suspense novel.
 
Join us on September 11.
