SPEAKER:  Vijaya Schartz, Author – Science Fiction, Contemporary Romance, Non-fiction and Celtic Legends

THE JOY OF POLISHING THE STORY:  You just wrote “The End.” Now, the true writing starts. You are ready to add meaning, nuance, foreshadowing, active setting, and subtle twists. Now, you can crank up the emotion and drama, adjust the pace, refine the storytelling, and add all the interesting flavors. Like when cooking, you add the special herbs, spices and sauces that will transform an ordinary fare into a culinary delight.

Born in France, award-winning author Vijaya Schartz never conformed to anything and could never refuse a challenge. She writes strong heroines, brave heroes, and cats. She likes action and exotic settings, in life and on the page. She traveled the world and claims she must be a time traveler, since she writes with the same ease about the far past and the far future. With thirty titles published, Vijaya Schartz writes action adventure laced with sensuality and suspense, in exotic, medieval, or futuristic settings. Her books collected many five-star reviews and literary awards.  Visit her at www.vijayaschartz.com

Presentation – FIFTY SHADES OF HOT – As the title of Virginia Nosky’s workshop suggests, the intensity of love and sex scenes is all over the map. The writer’s audience expects a certain amount of heat, from mild to blazing hot and many degrees in between. She delves into the biology and games of the man/woman attraction and its escalation, and looks at directions the
writer can go to satisfy the reader’s expectations and, not to forget, those of the characters in the story. Nosky also stresses that writing sweetly-warm to volcanic-hot romantic scenes is as much fun for the writer as it is for the reader and the characters involved in those Fifty Shades of Heat.
