President's Message July 2016

Hello Fanciful GothRom Writers,

I hope everyone is having a fabulous start to their summer. It’s July many of us (though not I) will be in San Diego at RWA Nationals Conference, July 13 – 16.

I would encourage you all to take advantage of the many opportunities we have for getting our chapter in social media.  As you know from my email, are blog site, Facebook and Twitter accounts are up and running.  If you are interested in writing a weekly/monthly article for our blog, please contact me.

As always fellow authors, thank you for all that you have done and continue to do. Your commitment to excellence is what keeps GothRom/RWA a growing chapter. Our sincerest thanks for being a part of this chapter where our motto is: “To encourage authors of Gothic romance through networking, inspiration, and provide a support network for those authors while submitting their work.”

With kind affection,

Connie Vines

President's Message for June 2016

Hello GothRom!

How many of you caught a glimpse of the Strawberry Full Moon during Summer Solstice?  I was fortunate to have a wonderfully view from by backyard.  Amazing.  The posted photographs did not do justice to the visual and emotional experience.

I wanted to take this time to remind everyone that it is membership renewal time.
Please long onto our website.  GothRom

Our Chapter continues to grow and I am proud to say our Twitter feed is now up and 'tweeting'.  And, of course, we have our facebook page, website, and our blog site.

Our chapter is support network to those authors as they write and submit for publication.

I know we had have our favorite 'classic' gothic novels we loved to read and re-read while we were growing up.

I will list several of mine, please share the titles your favorites in the comment area.

I also discovered a  website of interest.  You may wish to visit the site to see gothic book covers and how the artwork has changed over time.  http://flashbak.com/loads-of-women-running-from-houses-the-gothic-romance-paperback-150/


Happy Reading & Writing,

Connie
