Have talk, will travel!

I love talking to readers and writers! If you’d like me to visit your book club or writers’ group, or give a presentation at a writers’ conference, drop me a note at leslie AT lawandfiction DOT com  I can talk about Death al Dente, my first cozy mystery coming out this summer, common mistakes writers make about the law, the cozy mystery, characterization, setting, selling that first traditionally published book, the writing life … and more!

Last fall, I had a great time as a presenter for the 22d Annual Flathead River Writers Conference, sponsored by the Authors of the Flathead. Plans for the 23d Annual conference on Sept 28-29 in Kalispell, Montana are shaping up now — check it out.

That’s me in the pink, with Roxanne McHenry , an expert in e-book publishing and marketing — so sorry the picture makes her look a bit grumpy — she’s not, I promise!

The Authors of the Flathead sponsors the Flathead River Writers Conference October 6-7 in at Flathead Valley Community College in Kalispell. I’ll be speaking, along with keynoter Mark Coker of Smashwords, writers John DeDakis and Kathy Dunnehoff, online marketing expert Roxanne McHenry, and agents Jeff Herman and Regina Brooks.

Saturday, I’ll be talking about my own writer’s journey and about fact & fiction — why getting it right matters, how to research, when to stop, and other research tips. On Sunday, we’ll spend our first hour building character — both fictional and real-life — with writing exercises.  In the second hour, we’ll review Ten Common Mistakes Writers Make About the Law, and talk briefly about getting unstuck.

From reader to writer … .
