Joint presentation by Orewa and Whangaparaoa Libraries. A Literary Adventures event.
Laura Lee Guhrke
"From the publication of her very first historical romance, Laura Lee Guhrke has received numerous honors and critical acclaim for her novels and her writing style. She has been honored with the most prestigious award of romance fiction, the Romance Writers of America Rita Award, and she has received additional awards from Romantic Times and All About Romance. Romantic Times has proclaimed her, “One of the most natural voices in historical romance to be found today."
Karina Bliss
With a name like Bliss it was almost inevitable that Karina would become a Romance writer. For most of her working life she's been a journalist who wrote about travel for the New Zealand travel industry for close to a decade. She says "Now I have another job that on the surface looks glamorous and exciting. I’m a romance writer. Unfortunately not one of the ‘words pour out of me’ romance writers, but the ‘stare at the screen until your forehead bleeds’ variety.
Like motherhood, I thought it would be easy and it’s not."
Helen Kirkman
Helen Kirkman has always written stories - at home, at school, during the lunch break at her local government job, on the back of an envelope in a queue at the bank…
The breakthrough came when Helen won the Clendon Award for best unpublished romance manuscript. Harlequin bought her story and she now writes colourful historical stories for their mainstream romance imprint HQN Books.
Helen’s passion for colorful history provides the perfect backdrop for the powerful emotion in her writing.
