Her specialty is women's fiction, romance and erotic romance, as well as narrative nonfiction and memoir. “We have been negotiating with Marsha to sponsor this workshop since December,” said BWR President Walt Bell. “Our board of directors is convinced that Marsha has knowledge that will be invaluable to her audience.”
