1:00 - 5:00 PM EST
In this 4 hour workshop we will look at how prominent Romance authors create intimate scenes in their novels and how to get the most out of ours.
This workshop will explore what each gender looks at, feels, wonders, and thinks leading up to the intimate scene. What things are most important to them, and how they think of them. What things work, and what things don't. Sex is between the ears as they say.
