The Douglas County Library District is holding a wonderful writers conference this Saturday, October 10 from 8:30 am - 5:00 pm at Castle View High School in Castle Rock.  There's a lot of great workshops and registration is very affordable. You can find the list of speakers and workshops at: http://www.douglascountylibraries.org/Events/WritersConference

For YA writers, I'll be presenting two programs:
 

Tapping into your Inner Teen aka Writing for Young Adults

Description: We’re in a new golden age for young adult fiction. If youʹve wanted to tap into your inner teen and write a YA novel, this program is for you. Young adult author and teen librarian, Terri Clark, will define what makes a young adult novel, explain how teen fiction has changed over the years, help you discover your teen voice, introduce you to the market and highlight bestsellers and current trends.

Werewolves, Witches & Vamps, Oh My! Writing Paranormal Fiction

Description: Paranormal fiction is hotter than ever and Terri Clark is going to tell you why. She’ll also define the difference between paranormal romance and urban fantasy and explain why readers are willing to suspend their disbelief, but only if you ground the roots of your story in reality. If you want to know how to make the impossible seem plausible this is the workshop for you.

Parker Library and the Colorado Author Series will bring local authors to ParkerFest every Sunday, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., through September. I'm the featured author this Sunday (8/30) and I'd love for you to come by and visit! In addition to me, there's a great farmer's and merchant market and the day's entertainment is Art in the Park, celtic dancers and celtic music by the Indulgers. All this fun is right on Main Street in old towne Parker, just across the street from the Parker Library. Book talk, music, food and shopping...what more could you ask for?
 
Hope to see you there, Terri
