Character and Conflict
Andrew Grey
**Please note meeting this meeting is ZOOM ONLY***
Characters and Conflict – Developing well developed characters can help us in identifying and developing the organic internal conflict between them that all of us search for and sometimes can open the door to an external conflict. We will explore character development and identify how to build conflict from that. Andrew will make the session as interactive as possible.
About the Presenter: Andrew Grey is the author of more than two hundred works of Contemporary Gay Romantic fiction, including an Amazon Editors Best Romance of 2023. After twenty-seven years in corporate America, he has now settled down in Central Pennsylvania with his husband of more than twenty-five years, Dominic, and his laptop. An interesting ménage. Andrew grew up in western Michigan with a father who loved to tell stories and a mother who loved to read them. Since then he has lived throughout the country and traveled throughout the world. He is a recipient of the RWA Centennial Award, has a master’s degree from the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and now writes full-time. Andrew’s hobbies include collecting antiques, gardening, and leaving his dirty dishes anywhere but in the sink (particularly when writing). He considers himself blessed with an accepting family, fantastic friends, and the world’s most supportive and loving partner. Andrew currently lives in beautiful, historic Carlisle, Pennsylvania.

Keynote Presenter
Christine Gunderson
Amazon Bestselling Author
Christine Gunderson grew up on a fourth-generation family farm in rural North Dakota where she read Laura Ingalls Wilder books in her very own little house on the prairie.
She’s a former television anchor and reporter and former Capitol Hill press secretary. She currently lives in the Washington D.C. suburbs with her three children, Star the Wonder Dog, and a very patient husband.
When not writing, she’s sailing the Chesapeake Bay with her family, playing Star Wars monopoly, re-reading Jane Austen novels in the school pick up line or unloading the dishwasher.
Her debut novel, Friends with Secrets was selected as an Amazon First Reads pick. Readers call it “a timeless, beautiful, relevant, laugh-out-loud, funny homage to motherhood.”
