New York Times Best
Selling Author, Kristan Higgins to speak at writer’s retreat
MYSTIC- A group of emerging writers gathering on June 16th
will be in for a real treat with New York Times and USA Today best-selling
author Kristan Higgins as guest presenter. At the Creating A Writing Life
event, Higgins will share her own emerging writer story and her unique process
that has resulted in nine books published, the most recent of which, Somebody to Love was just released in
March.
Called “the
master of small-town romance” by Romantic
Times, Kristan Higgins is a two-time winner of the Romance Writers of
America RITA Award. She has been called “a rising superstar in contemporary
romance” by USA TODAY, who went on to
praise Kristan’s “genius-level EQ…whippet-fast, funny dialogue and sweet plots with a deliciously tart edge.”
Her contemporary romances feature big-hearted, memorable love stories about
regular people featuring quirky families, real-life issues and a cute dog or
two as well.

Participants in the Creating A
Writing Life program offered each summer on Mason’s Island, look forward to an
inside look at an author’s successes as well as their humanity. The full day
retreat is offered at the home of writer Patricia Ann Chaffee and includes
nourishment for the body, soul and creative spirit in a positive, encouraging
atmosphere at a location on Fisher’s Island Sound. Writers in all genres and
all levels of ability are welcome.
Kristan lives in her hometown of
Durham with her brave and heroic firefighter husband of 20 years and two lovely
children. The family shares their home with a hyperactive mutt named Willow and
a soulless feline named Huck. When she is not writing or baking cookies,
Kristan can be found watching the New York Yankees and Googling her latest
celebrity crush. Visit her website at www.kristanhiggins.com or for more information about registering
