Ottumwa Public Library

February has long been known as the month of love, so it’s only fitting that this month’s meeting of the Reminisce Society focus on “Romance” ... and no one is better qualified to lead a discussion on romance than Ottumwa’s very own romance novelist extraordinaire, Leigh Michaels. Leigh is the author of 80 contemporary romance novels, as well as several single-title historicals set in 1800s London. More than 35 million copies of her books have been printed worldwide, and her novels have been translated into 25 languages. Join us as Leigh discusses her career as a romance novelist; what inspires her writing and how she crafts a plot and develops characters; and how she came to evolve from an Iowa farm girl to a well known novelist, writing teacher, and editor. The Reminisce Society will be meeting on Tuesday, February 22nd at 10:00 a.m. Bring your own reminiscences of romances (past and present!) with you, and plan to come for a morning that promises to be interesting, educational, and inspiring.

GUYS: you’re invited, too. After all, it takes two to tango!
