WMG Holiday Spectacular 2022
Kickstarter Campaign… Funded in less than an hour and hit the first stretch goal in less than 12 hours. Wow!! And this one we are doing 16 days instead of 9 days.

In-Person Workshops
Leaving Price at $750… We had planned for a while to make the In-Person workshops $1,000 so we could find better location. But now that we have found the Resorts World, the cost is not that much more for WMG if everyone stays at the hotel. So for the moment, we are going to leave it at $750. (Again, through the workshop the room rate is $75 plus real resort fees.) You can see the full list and dates of the next seven in-person workshops here https://wmgworkshops.com/in-person/ Only two spots left in January FANTASY CAPER. The spots are getting tight for the May ROMANTIC SUSPENSE and the July FANTASY THRILLER.…

But it took her a while to record the ten videos of the Lessons from the Writing of the Fey, because, to be honest, she wanted a few books under her fingers before she looked back again. The book got out a number of months back and now tonight, on Teachable, I have posted the videos. I have written personally to everyone who backed the Kris videos on that first Fey Kickstarter and gave them the way to get to them on Teachable,…
