Candice Hern, Power of POV
This workshop will present some basic skills for using deep 3rd-person point-of-view to bring characters to life, including some common pitfalls to avoid. This will not be a "To Head-Hop or Not To Head-Hop" workshop, but will instead focus on how to make the most effective use of POV in deepening and enriching characterization, how to REALLY get inside, and stay inside, a character's head.
Candice Hern is the award-winning author of historical romance novels set during the English Regency, a period she knows well through years of collecting antiques and fashion prints of the era. She travels to England regularly, always in search of more historical and local color to help bring her books to life, and prides herself on the detailed research that goes into each novel. Her books have won praise for their "intelligence and elegant romantic sensibility" (Romantic Times) as well as "delicious wit and luscious sensuality" (Booklist). Her first book was published in 1995, the result of winning a writing contest.
Originally from Texas, Candice grew up in California and lived for many years in San Francisco. She now lives in Minneapolis, MN, where she is still getting used to the winters. She has degrees in Art History from the University of California. Before becoming a full-time writer, she spent several years in high tech marketing, and her last position was as Director of Marketing Operations for a software company. Her award-winning website is often cited for its Collections and its Regency era information. It is the only author website listed among the online resources at the Jane Austen Centre in England, and has also been referenced by the Museum of London.
