Join regional fiction writers Carolyn Jack, Culley Holderfield, A.L. Sirois, and Valerie Nieman for a fascinating exploration of how they think up the mysteries, relationships, dramatic events and whole worlds that fill their books. How do authors invent characters, settings and situations? How do they come up with the words their characters say? And how do they keep their stories going – and tied together – for hundreds of pages? Be sure to stop by for this free event!
