If you want to be kept in the loop, comment with a 🌶️ so I can notify you via DM! Here’s the blurb for DEVILS+HEARTBREAK: When Owen Jameson meets the (very inebriated) woman of his dreams at a Melbourne art-show afterparty, he thinks he’s found his forever. But he wakes up the next day in her hotel room all alone with nothing but blurry memories and an aching heart. Six months later, fate brings them together once more when Owen discovers that the enigmatic beauty is none other than Srinaya Matthews, a rising star at MERAHPUTIH—the prestigious art gallery his grandmother co-founded in Jakarta, Indonesia. ✨ As Naya immerses herself in curating a major exhibition, she can’t ignore the magnetic pull she feels towards Owen, the gallery’s legacy director and esteemed benefactor. Despite his claims that they’ve never met, there’s something undeniably familiar about him, and Naya finds herself tempted to break all her professional rules for a chance at love. But with whispers of her past threatening to tarnish her reputation, and the weight of Owen’s titles looming over them, Naya must decide if she’s willing to risk everything for a romance with the Golden God of MERAHPUTIH. #romancewriters #romancewritersofinstagram #bookstagrammerindonesia #contemporaryromancereads #romancebookstagram #spicybooks #spicyromance #queerromance"

Discover the art of public speaking with actress, playwright, and AWGIE-nominated radio dramatist, Donna M. Cameron, as she shares insights gained from her journey as a novelist. Join us in person on July 6th at 2:40 pm for a workshop focused on “Mastering the Art of Public Speaking: Voice Control and Overcoming Nerves.”

Effective public speaking entails more than just volume; it requires mastery of voice modulation and articulation, along with the ability to manage stage fright. Gain confidence and poise as you explore the intricacies of public speaking, a skill set that transcends mere vocal projection.

This workshop will equip you with techniques to mitigate nervousness and enhance your delivery. Through practical exercises, we’ll delve into the nuances of voice control and articulation, emphasising the importance of thorough preparation. By embracing authenticity and confidence, you’ll learn to craft your message in a way that captivates audiences long after you’ve left the podium.

Join us for an enriching session tailored for authors and anyone seeking to refine their public speaking skills.
