NTRWA
General Meeting
May 17th, 2008
Jordan
Dane
Start with a
Bang---It's all About PACE
There are many ways to start a story. It can introduce a character or
group, introduce a circumstance, or it can center on building a world or
describing a place or a thing. A strong start should capture your
reader's imagination and hold it. Join us next month and meet
Jordan Dane for this exciting workshop.
After
Jordan Dane
sold her first 3-books in auction to Avon/HarperCollins in June 2006,
her debut title – No One Heard Her Scream – held more
significance. Everyone heard her scream! And that went
double for the next 3-book thriller series she sold to Avon in May 2007
before she had any books on the shelves.
Pursuing publication
since 2003, Jordan received awards in 33 writing competitions, including
her 2005 RWA Golden Heart entry. She’s a member of Romance Writers of
America, Mystery Writers of America, Sisters in Crime, Kiss of Death,
and the International Thriller Writers. Jordan and her husband share
their Oklahoma residence with an intelligent canine and two cats of
highborn lineage.
Ripped from the headlines,
Jordan’s gritty suspense plots weave a tapestry of vivid settings,
intrigue, and dark humor. She loves challenging a reader’s moral
barometer with the borderline ethics of her characters and their flawed
personalities--dark, angst-ridden antiheroes pitted against
unforgettable villains.
Take a front row seat
to suspense with Avon and Jordan Dane’s back to back releases in April
through June 2008--No One Heard Her Scream, No One Left to Tell, & No
One Lives Forever.
