Bryce, Margaret Locke, Terri Brisbin, and Mary K Tilghman – Spanning the Centuries: Romance serves as a time machine to falling in love any era. Just ask these authors–you can bounce around among the British Regency era, to American Jazz Age, Scotland in the Middle Ages and the 17th century, and the American Civil War. How much research does it take to build an historical world that immerses the reader in the era without making it feel like a history class from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off? Which details connect moth with readers? And how do you balance the time period with the romance unfolding on the page? These authors will talk about their process with you!
Saturday, November 2 – 12:00 p.m. – Panel with E Elizabeth Watson, Lori Ann Bailey, Eliza Knight, Terri Brisbin, and Tara Kingston – Highlander’s Delight: Why can’t we get enough of those men in kilts?

Come revel in your love of all things Highlander and ask questions of the authors who write the perfect kilt-wearing heroes!
