February's Speaker:
Angela Ruth Strong
Just a few days before Valentine's Day, we are going to hear from the original founder of IdaHope and romance author Angela Ruth Strong about "The Importance of Love Stories."
Why do we read and write romance, and how can we write it better? Learn the benefits of adding a little romance to any story. We'll be reading excerpts of the genre's tropes for an interactive study of how to use them, when to break them, and how to go deeper than expected. You'll leave with the inspiration needed to surprise your reader while still leaving them satisfied.
Angela Ruth Strong survived breast cancer, works as a flight attendant, and uses her own crazy life experiences as inspiration for the stories she writes. Her books have earned TOP PICK in Romantic Times, been nominated for a Christy Award, and have become Amazon bestsellers. She and her husband also played extras when her novel Finding Love in Big Sky was adapted for film. Watch for her upcoming flight attendant romcoms!
