    Topic: "Getting More Emotional Connection Via Deep POV" with Robin Weaver

    In the best stories, the reader identifies so completely with the protagonist, they become one with the character and feel the hero/ine’s fear, despair, anger, and joy. Help your reader connect emotionally with your characters by going deeper with Point of View (POV). This workshop details how to get into your heroine or hero’s head, and providers pointers to help increase the emotional stakes for the reader.

    BIO:
    A professional computer geek, Robin Weaver started writing extensively when she traded in her ski boots for flip-flops and moved to North Carolina. She’s an avid fan of Latin dance, CCR, the N.Y. Yankees, and the five o’clock shadow—not necessarily in that order. She has published four novels: Blue Ridge Fear and Artifact of Death as Robin Weaver; and, Forbidden Magic and Forbidden Flame under her pseudonym Genia Avers. Robin writes a regular blog for Romancing the Genres and her articles have appeared in numerous RWA Chapter Newsletters. She’s also a Golden Heart finalist and winner of the prestigious Daphne du Maurier contest.
