<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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. . </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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 </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>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. </FONT></DIV>
