Join us for this exciting and helpful May meeting as USA Today bestselling author Robin Patchen leads us in discussing elements common to many well-known quotes from novels, nonfiction books, essays, and speeches. We’ll look at elements they have in common—simplicity, repetition, and cadence—and learn how to apply these elements to our own work to create succinct, impactful, and memorable prose. Don’t miss this great evening of instruction!

Robin Patchen is an award-winning author of Christian romantic suspense. She grew up in a small town in New Hampshire, the setting of her Nutfield Saga books, and then headed to Boston to earn a journalism degree. After college, working in marketing and public relations, she discovered how much she loathed the nine-to-five ball and chain. After relocating to the Southwest, she started writing her first novel while she homeschooled her three children. The novel was dreadful, but her passion for storytelling didn’t wane. Thankfully, as her children grew, so did her writing ability. Now that her kids are adults, she has more time to play with the lives of fictional heroes and heroines, wreaking havoc and working magic to give her characters happy endings. When she’s not writing, she’s editing or reading, proving that most of her life revolves around the twenty-six letters of the alphabet.
