About
All romance writers (whether you're just thinking about it, trying to finish your first work, seeking publication, or are published) are invited to chat about their favorite genre. Too often, authors are isolated at their desks, in their favorite chairs, or at their local coffee shop, writing but not communicating with others interested in their genre. Let's change that. Come to listen, ask questions, or share (note that this is not a critique group).
Roundtables will recur monthly on the second Monday.
You can expect:
- Support
- Accountability
- Brainstorming
- Goal setting
- Camaraderie
- Sharing of craft and business information
Class Policies

She has a bachelor’s degree from the University of Notre Dame and a graduate degree from DePaul University.

Theresa Smith
T. M. Smith is the award-winning author of steamy paranormal/fantasy romances. The five-novel Blood Coven series is complete, and the Blood Coven World novella spin-offs are at six with two in the chute awaiting publication. Currently, she is furiously writing to complete a new, exciting series. After retiring from her career as an educator, she settled in to write something more creative than lesson plans on split infinitives and inner-school memos on noise in the hallway. She’s now living in the Pacific Northwest with vampires, demons, mages, and other magical beings who keep her awake at night with their tales of love and adventure.
