Tonight’s Third Thursday: Love Scenes and Love Stories at Book People

Love-book-150x150

No matter what your genre or market, there’s a good chance that your work-in-progress has a romantic plot, subplot, or at least a sizzling or suggestive scene.  But how do you put romantic dialogue or action on the page without being cheesy or turning off your readers?

Tonight’s panel promises to be especially lively as Willa Blair, Mari Mancusi, Shawnna Perigo, and Tracy Wolff discuss how they create love scenes that are tactful and/or titillating.

We’ll meet at 7pm at Book People on the third floor. Hope to see you there.
