Workshop(s)

Then and Now (workshop) Friday, October 20, 2006 (1:30 PM to 3:00 PM) Whether your story is set in the past or the present day, events back then will motivate what your characters do now. Anne Perry and Michael Slade discuss using history.
Starting Your Mystery (workshop) Friday, October 20, 2006 (3:30 PM to 5:00 PM) Anne Perry helps you tackle the all-important subject of how and where to open your mystery.
"And then the Prince of Wales said to me…" —When your fictional characters meet real people (workshop) Saturday, October 21, 2006 (10:30 AM to 12:00 PM) Creating fictional characters who belong in their historical time period takes skill and subtlety. Too much historical name-dropping and your book sounds less like a novel and more like a dissertation. Too little research, and your story could take place anywhere, any time. Join moderator kc dyer as this panel of historical fiction writers discusses how to make your fictional characters seamlessly mingle with people from the past.
