The HEA Cafe

Good Morning everyone,

As many of you know, RWA (Romance Writer’s of America) held their national conference in Dallas last week.  So this week, I’d like to ask those who attended a few questions for those who couldn’t attend for whatever reason.

1.  What’s your strongest memory of the event?  Paint it in words for us.

2.  What piece of knowledge did you pick up that you think we all HAVE to know to succeed in our writing careers?

3.  What was the funniest thing that happened at the event?

4.  What Marketing trends did you hear about?

5.  Would you go the the conference next year?  Why or why not?

Good morning everyone,

I know many of you are gearing up for the RWA National Conference in Dallas, scheduled from July 11th through July 14th, so I thought we’d discuss a light-hearted topic this week.

It’s a two part question.  What is you favorite sub-genre of books to read in the romance genre and why?  And part two:  What type of books do you like to read most and why? (i.e. non-fiction, thrillers, mysteries, romance, etc…)

Well, the authors of Triskelion Publishing were notified today that Triskelion Publishing will be closing it’s doors on July 2nd. They will be filing Chapter 7 bankruptcy at that time.

For all my fellow authors out there who are dealing with this issue, my thoughts go out to you.

So, in deference to this upsetting news, this week’s discussion topic is:

Do you think Triskelion’s decision to close it’s doors will effect other small publishers? And if so, how? And what piece of advice would you give the authors and editors at Triskelion?

Good Evening…

Tomorrow begins the HEA Cafe’s shameless self-promotion week for our published authors who have June releases.  Stop by and comment on those authors who have a June release.  We’d love to hear what you think of our books.  If you’ve read a book by a particular author that’s posting, let us know what you thought about it.  Or if there is a book you can’t wait to read that an author is showcasing, let us know that too!!

I thought we’d talk about something fun this week.  I’ve been to numerous author chats and this question comes up alot, so I thought I’d post the question here.

If you could spend time with Five (5) people out of history that have affected you or your writing in one way or the other, who would they be and why?
