July 2013: Adding a Touch of Mystery to your Story



Join DFW Ready Writers on Saturday, July 13 as we welcome author and speaker Vannetta Chapman, who will talk about adding a touch of mystery to your story:

"With my book in one hand and my tissues in the other, I realized I was holding my breath until the very end."

"I LOVE this book!! But I am nearing the end and don't want this story to stop!! FANTASTIC!!"

"I had to stay up until midnight to finish because I had to know how it turned out!!!!"

You can have reviews just like this. How? By adding a bit of mystery to your writing. Regardless the genre you write in, you can learn how to plant clues and reveal effectively. Bring your current WIP, and we'll discuss how to complicate your plot, endear your characters to your reader, and slowly reveal back story. We'll also look at ways to keep track of those little clues you're sprinkling throughout your manuscript.


Vannetta Chapman is the author of several novels, including A Promise for Miriam and A Home for Lydia. She discovered her love for the Amish while researching her grandfather’s birthplace in Albion, Pennsylvania. Vannetta is a Carol award winner and a multi-award-winning member of Romance Writers of America. She was a teacher for 15 years and currently resides in the Texas Hill country.
