About this Event
A fun, imaginative session exploring ways to create surprising paranormal and fantasy characters and blend them seamlessly into the “normal” world.
Helen and Andie will share their character-creation techniques and then help you develop your own original paranormal or fantasy lead character or villain. You’ll search for your character within the realm of the ordinary and everyday before transforming them with a power or trait that makes them extraordinary and other-worldly … and, maybe, seriously hot.
Join Helen and Andie and let your imagination run wild. Who knows, maybe one day your character creation will be the object of a million readers’ desire!
Refreshments provided.
