Part II
Memoir Writing Workshop with Michael Czarnecki
Everyone has stories to share and many people have a desire to write about their life. Wanting to write and doing so are two different things. The immensity of such a project can overwhelm us. This workshop will help to make that desire a reality.
Participants will be introduced to a method I call “Palm-of-the-Hand” writing, after the “Palm-of-the-Hand” stories of Japanese writer Yasunari Kawabata. After deciding on story possibilities, the method helps focus the writer’s energy into completing short individual pieces about their life.
These workshops have been very successful in helping people to write extensively about their life experiences – whether for family members or to someday be published in a book.

Lorelei of Lorelei’s Lit Lair will be chatting about her “best of” 2024 – books she’s loved through the year and think would make great additions to our TBR piles. And, then, she’ll recommend some books that she is looking forward to in early 2025. If your pile isn’t already groaning, it will be! Grab a hot toddy and join us.
If you know romance, you probably know Lorelei! Affectionately referred to as a passionate Romance Ambassador, Lorelei has been offering book recommendations, author spotlights, giveaways and connecting authors with readers through social media since 2010, providing a safe and friendly environment for book lovers around the globe.
About Lorelei:
In addition to being a Romance Ambassador, since 2015 Lorelei has hosted at capacity events such as the Annual Romance, Wine & Chocolate event in her hometown of Orlando, FL in partnership with the outstanding Alafaya Library and Chickasaw Branch, which are both part of the Orange County Library System.
The Orange County Library System was recognized in 2018 with the highest honor bestowed upon libraries by the government, the National Medal from the Institute for Museum and Library Services.
Romance book lovers can join the “Let’s Talk Romance Books” Social Club, an exclusive virtual membership where readers can now enjoy Lorelei’s in-person signature style reader events from the comfort of their home, introducing up and coming, and acclaimed bestselling authors in a fun and entertaining way inside a safe and friendly online community.

With the holidays right around the corner, take a minute (or an hour) to relax and find some good holiday romance reads! John Charles will give us his “best of” list of 2024 that will have your TBR pile tipping over and your holidays spent cozying up to a good book (bring your own hot toddy!). No need to bring papyrus and quill, we’ll send out a list after the session. We hope you can join us!
After working in public libraries for thirty years, John Charles retired and then immediately went to work for the Poisoned Pen, Scottsdale’s independent bookstore. In addition to reviewing for Booklist and Library Journal, John is the co-author of Romance Today An A to Z Guide to Contemporary American Romance Writers, The Readers’ Advisory Guide to Mystery, and The Complete Idiot’s Guide to the Ultimate Reading List.
