Newswire
Have you ever sat in awe entranced by a book you have just read. Do you ever 
yearn to share your feelings with the author of the beautiful book you've 
just finished? If you have, you will have an opportunity to talk with 
Barbara Bretton, author of  Sentimental Journey, a book featured in our 
romance discussion group several months ago in our next meeting on Friday, 
August 21. .

What does Barbara   think while writing a book? How are her  choices made 
about plot, setting,and  characters? Does she ever wish she could go back 
and change a part of the plot or eliminate a character? How does Bretton's 
life experience and maturity affect her perception of past  work?  Is being 
published all sweetness and light or is it filled with disillusionment, 
disappointment, and pain?  What is the honeymoon period after publication 
and why must it end

Barbara Bretton is a fascinating writer and will honestly speak with us 
about all of the above questions. She will share not only what publishing 
means to her, but how it feels in a way you have never heard before.

A delightful lady, Barbara has been  publishing books  since 1982. When you 
listen, you will look at writers and the world in which they work 
differently. Your life will be truly enriched. In an hour with Barbara 
Bretton, you will be captivated and eager to read more of her books. Don't 
be surprised if you have fallen in love with the author herself when our 
time together comes to an end.

In addition to discussion of Barbara's novel Sentimental Journey mentioned 
above, we will touch on two  of Barbara's other novels, A Soft Place To Fall 
and Just like Heaven.  The information about where and how they can be 
obtained is below. Reading them is optional, but please download and read 
them if you wish. If you love to read, put that book you are reading down 
for just an hour and join us. You will have no regrets.
