July 12th – Michele Dunaway
Everyone always asks WHRWA member Michele Dunaway how she does it and assumes she’s Superwoman. The thing is, though, Michele’s not even close and she’s dealt with just about every stressor known to man, most of them all within the same year. This highly-interactive workshop will apply to both veterans and beginners alike and will deal with things such as how to balance a full time day job with full time writing, how to battle jealousy (surprise, it’s really something else)), how to achieve your goals, and when to say yes and when to say no. Come dressed to move around the room and discover the inner superwoman (or man) within.
Ever since she was in first grade, Michele Dunaway wanted to be a writer. In 1988, she set a goal at her five-year high school reunion to be published by the year 2000. While she authored professional journal articles, and compiled the Journalism Education Association Middle/Junior High Curriculum Guide, it wasn’t until August of 1999 that Michele learned she had sold her first novel to Harlequin American Romance. Since then Michele has sold over 15 novels to Harlequin and her works have been translated into French, Italian, German, Portuguese, and Japanese among others. Describing herself as a woman who does too much but doesn’t know how to stop, Michele also teaches high school English, advises the school yearbook, and raises two daughters and five spoiled housecats.
