Free Lecture, Classic Workshop, and Workshop Discounts
Plus Some Fantastic Reading… Kris has a new Diving novel coming out this fall. It is huge, meaning 260,000 words. And she wanted to get it to her fans ahead of time, so she is doing a Kickstarter project. The name of the novel is THE RENEGAT. If you back the campaign at any level, you will get a copy of the book early, months before it comes out regularly. Also, Kris did two really cool special books for this Kickstarter. She took all her deleted sections and pieces from both THE RENEGAT and other Diving novels, did some essays, and put them together. It takes up two books and…

That Was Nuts
Got a Lot of Response… I asked yesterday, just giving names of three workshops, which workshop people would like the best. I was sort of torn between which one to do or do none at all for the next few months. So figured I would ask for opinions. And I got a lot, both in comments and in private letters. Thank you, one and all. And I suppose if I call this an unofficial pole, then this is the result. Time Travel 21 votes Western 20 votes Attitude 19 votes. Well, that sure didn’t give me the big boost toward one or the other. But it did tell me that…

April Workshops Now All Live
Including the New Emotions Workshop… And even stranger, I am back writing again yesterday and today after our week out of touch worrying about our good friend Allyson Longuiera. She came through the brain surgery wonderfully and is now home and resting. Things at WMG Publishing will still be a little crazy for a time until Allyson returns, but Gwyneth and Josh are fantastic there and keeping things running as smoothly as can be expected without the boss in her chair. And everything with the workshops, The Great Challenge, and Ask Kris Anything webinar are going on as planned. Allyson wan’t involved in those except for planning stages and giving…

2020 Anthology Workshop Moved Up One Week
For A Good Reason… Everyone who is signed up for 2020 Anthology Workshop should have gotten a letter from me about this. If you think you are signed up and didn’t get a letter, or want to sign up (filling quickly), write me at dean.wmgworkshops@gmail.com The point is that I wanted to let everyone know that the dates for the 2020 Anthology workshop have been moved one week sooner, to February 21st through the 26th. Everything else is the same and we will start writing in November like normal. The reason for the change was the Golden Nugget Hotel and Casino contacting us and giving us an option to change…

Emotion Workshop…A Sample
Lifetime Subscriptions… You should already know that the Emotions workshop is in their subscription. Anyone with a lifetime subscription to workshops can take a new workshop when it starts up or wait and take it any time down the road. And you don’t have to tell me you want to be in it. Lifetime subscribers are automatically in. One subscriber asked if it was better for me to have them take it first time out or wait until later. For me, it makes no difference. But for the subscriber, it might be better to wait and get out of the crowd. (grin… not that many people taking it the first…
