What an event to conclude our #literary Oktoberfest with!! The “Versatility of Vampires” discussion with @nyt bestselling #author Charlaine Harris @realcharlaine and Dr. Catriona Miller was an absolutely fun-tastic one! The juxtaposition of the scholarly and creative perspectives on #vampire novels/movies shed so much light on the depths of the genre: humanity, #patriarchy, #archetypal reflections of the #creative mind, the #writing process, pop culture, the shadow, and more! If you missed the session, you can now view the recording on the “Indelible Evenings” YouTube channel! #halloweenbooks #vampire #spooky #novels #bestsellingauthor #writingcommunity #fiction #genre #fantasy #urbanfantasy #fandom #scifi #sciencefiction

🧛🧛‍♀️ An exciting new event on Oct 20!! How does pop culture approach #vampires? One of the world’s most famous vampire #novelists, Charlaine Harris, the author behind the popular TV series #TrueBlood, will be in conversation with renown media scholar Dr. Catriona Miller about “the versatility of vampires” in today’s #popfiction and television series. From discussing Charlaine Harris’s Sookie Stackhouse, Gunnie Rose, and Harper Connelly series, the discussion will focus on the following: Why are people drawn to the vampire genre? What psychological effects do vampire novels and movies have on people? What does this say about the readers? Join us this Wednesday with @realcharlaine and Catriona Miller—link in bio!!
🔎🧙🏻‍♂️🕵🏻🕵🏻‍♂️How do the highly acclaimed novelists John Gaspard and Carol Pouliot write their unique mysteries, and how much research actually goes into their novels? What inspires their inclusion of magicians and paranormal elements in a work of detective fiction? And what are some of the things they wish they had known before they started? Gaspard and Pouliot will discuss their writing process, from the first spark of inspiration, to the birth of their characters, as well as the awakening of the mystery writer in them—and whether or not we can actually judge a book by its cover. Join us by registering via the link in bio 🆙 About the authors:

Join us this Wednesday Oct 6! For award-winning #authors Connie Berry and Grace Topping, as well as renown literary scholar and mystery #novelist Prof. Susan Rowland, the process of writing detective #novels has a "quest" vibe to it. It highlights the protagonists as heroines and shows how the #detective genre may have some kind of "mission" to accomplish. Our notable guests will discuss the #inspiration behind #writing cozy/traditional #mysteries, why and how these mysteries are written, what effect the process of writing them has on the #author, and the heroines in their #novels.
💡🧠Wednesday’s session with motivational psychologist Dr. Stephen P. Kelner was super inspiring! Whether you are motivated by achievement, affiliation, or influence, Dr. Kelner spoke about some very important factors that can encourage creativity in every category. If you missed this wonderful session, you can find the recording on our “Indelible Evenings” YouTube channel! #creativity #motivation #writing #writingcommunity #creative #amwriting
Doctors can “see through us” literally, but they sure can take these special vision abilities into the figurative realm as well! In this incredible session, thanks to Dr. Norbert Hirschhorn, Dr. Fouad M. Fouad, and Dr. Hanna Saadeh , we saw how the most powerful images and metaphors can be inspired by the human body. These doctors can see what’s inside of you on many levels, translating life into poetry. We saw how the OR, the ER, the clinic inspire a deeper delve into the body, the psyche, and all what makes us human. We discussed “surgical” tools for poetry, the celebration of patients’ victories and losses through verse, the role of poetry in bedside manners, the aesthetic side of science, and the wisdom in witnessing pain and patience. And across the bridge between art and science, the poetry is simply sublime… (the recording is now available on YouTube, visit the “Indelible Evenings” channel) #medicalhumanities #poetry #poets #poems #doctorswhowrite #doctorpoet #poetdoctors #poetrycommunity #writing #writingcommunity #writerscommunity #writer #poetryevent #poetryreading #poetsofinstagram #poetryisnotdead
