Had a great time last time presenting a new workshop, PERMISSION TO SMOOCH, about romance books and writing and how we can ensure our characters' growth through high emotional stakes and vulnerability. THANK YOU to my darlings who showed up in support! Presenting new material is always kinda freaky -- and I know I talk too fast -- but I get really hyped up about the stuff I teach, especially when it relates to tearing down patriarchal BS and GRANTING WRITERS AND READERS PERMISSION to write about our most basic human instinct and need ... LOVE. It's always about the love, baby.

Thank you, Federation of British Columbia Writers, for giving me a spot in the teaching calendar. Always a privilege.
