Monthly PDG meeting every second Monday at The Commodore Condominium (Meeting Room)
The Writers Network of South Florida will be meeting back at the main branch of the Fort Lauderdale Library on February 15, 2012. Don’t miss this night where we will celebrate the month of Romance with a program by Sophia Knightly entitled "Cooking up Hot Romance and Delicious Humor.”
Sophia enjoys creating fun and sexy contemporary romances. A two-time Maggie award finalist and Romancing the Script finalist, she specializes in feel-good books laced with humor. Her stories are enriched by her travels and previous experience as an actress, model, airline reservations agent and mom of two beautiful daughters. When not writing or reading, she finds pleasure in walking the beach, exploring museums, enjoying good food, and watching movies. One of her favorite pastimes remains simply watching people, especially those in love!
If that’s not enough, we will have 2 romantic door prizes. Come and join us for this educational, fun evening.
