Patti Fischer 0 Posted August 6, 2010 Report Share Posted August 6, 2010 ********** permission to forward ********** HURRY.... CLASS STARTS SOON! Hi everyone! Check out the exciting online classes offered by the Orange Orange <ST1>C of RWA! "Understanding Men" with Dr Debra Holland August 16 – September 18, 2010 Do you wish you had a better understanding of men? Now is your chance to improve your real-life relationships with men and enhance your male characters all through taking the same course. Learn how the male brain and hormones make a man think, feel, and behave, especially in relationships. This extended class, which includes an extra fifth week, also covers male sexuality and how that affects responses, attitudes, and behavior. Additional discussions will take a look at how men are portrayed in romance novels versus how men are in real life. About the Instructor: Debra Holland, PhD is a popular psychotherapist, consultant, and speaker on the topics of communication skills, relationships, stress and trauma, and dealing with difficult people. In this class, Dr. Debra expands on the workshop she has given at the 2001 National RWA Conference and around the country at various RWA chapters and conferences. Just this year, she has added a new segment covering the anatomy and physiology of male sexuality, as well as male sexual responses, attitudes, and behavior. Although geared to writers, non-writers will also find the class helpful in improving their relationships with men. As a multi-faceted author, Debra's first historical romance, Wild Montana Sky, won the 2001 Romance Writers of America's Golden Heart award. Subsequent books in the series, Wild Montana Sky and Starry Montana Sky both earned finalist honors in the OCCRWA Orange Rose contest. Her fantasy romance, Withea's Way (retitled Sower of Dreams) was a 2003 Golden Heart finalist. Her science fiction/fantasy novel, Lywin's Quest, was a 2005 GH finalist. In 2008, she sold a nonfiction book, Back On Track, to Transformations, and is currently finishing a book on boundary setting with difficult people.
