Description: Do you know the secret to character development?

"The Dirty Little Secrets of Character Development" is an interactive

workshop that leads participants through fun, inventive exercises that will

help them root out their characters' deep, dark secrets and desires, as well

as show how to use these secrets to further plot, conflict and-of course-the

romance.

Through discussion and exercises, participants will: Gain insight into how

secrets affect character at the deepest level; Understand how these secrets

reveal themselves through words and actions even if the character never

confesses; and Learn how to use this knowledge to propel the plot forward in

a logical, engaging manner.

Bio: Keena Kincaid is the author of three historical romances with The Wild

Rose Press.

While growing up on a farm slightly to the left of nowhere in Ohio, she

learned early that a well-told tale would get her out of trouble quicker

than any admission of guilt. She studied history, English and philosophy at

Wittenberg University, concentrated on medieval history in graduate school

at Miami University in Oxford, OH, and keeps up with academic research and

thought as a member of the Medieval Academy of America.

After honing her writing skills as a newspaper reporter and editor, she

switched to public relations and began writing fiction. Career honors

include writing awards for feature writing from Society of Professional

Journalists, Gannett newspapers and the Associated Press. You can find Keena
