Royal Bondage | Anne Powers

Anne Powers was a prolific novelist who wrote 17 epic historical adventures filled with suspense & seduction. She was also my cherished college professor who brought real live authors to speak at our freelance writing class & taught 2 big lessons:
*Be passionate about everything you write.
*Your writing is worth something—so much so that someone would be willing to pay for it. Thanks Mrs. Powers for believing in us.

MemoirsForMe The tagged book is my #BookSpin #Number 10. It‘s an action-packed saga set in the Elizabethan era with such intricate details and heart-wrenching conflicts. It‘s evident Anne was an avid history buff and sailing enthusiast. She published these novels from 1946-1987. 4y
Crazeedi That is SO cool! An author as professor, how inspiring she sounds, I've never heard of her, but the books sound really good too. Can't believe I never saw 4y

MemoirsForMe @Crazeedi Oh, she was the best teacher! To listen to her and other authors giving us firsthand tips about writing. I couldn‘t wait to go to this class. There is so much detail and drama in her book, it could have been a miniseries. 🥰🙌🏻 4y

mrp27 The Los Angeles public library has a Gregory Peck reading room. He used to hold readings once a week. As if he wasn't swoon worthy enough! 5y

Well, this was fun! Pages from the book are numbered (numbers in yellow in the corner)and displayed to read as you walk! Upon completion of the walk, you are awarded tickets for 4 to Longwood Gardens! The event is a Community Read collaboration between the Library and Longwood Gardens. #litsywalkers #litsywalkersbingo #number

Librarybelle What an awesome idea! I‘m already thinking how my library can partner with a local agency to do something similar! 6y
DivineDiana @Librarybelle That would be wonderful! The Library has been doing this for years, and they use a few different books during the year. Longwood Gardens is not always the partner. Good luck! (edited) 6y
tpixie Love this idea!!! 6y
