This week I (Trudi Jaye) was away, so against my better judgement, I let the other three do the podcast without me. Surprisingly, against all expectations, they managed to do an episode that was moderately okay. 🙂 Don’t miss this episode as Wendy, Cher, and Shar talk about writing in series – why you would do it, what it involves, how to remember all the characters, and some hot tips on marketing your series.

This week we bring you a special episode direct from the Romance Writers of New Zealand conference in Auckland, New Zealand. Wendy Vella and Trudi Jaye tiptoed out of a workshop, grabbed the incredibly talented Leeanna Morgan along the way and hid out in one of the conference rooms, making her spill the beans on her self publishing career. And boy, does she deliver. This is a must listen episode for our listeners – Leeanna knows what she’s talking about. 🙂

This is a special bonus episode of the SPA Girls Podcast, hosted by Trudi Jaye and Talia Hunter and recorded live at RWA in San Diego. We recorded this little snippet on our last day in an attempt to give SPA Girls listeners a sense of what it was like to attend the conference. At the start of the recording we’re joined by Allyson, a Harlequin editor that we harangued into joining us in the recording. 🙂 We talk about some of the workshops that we attended, the people we met, and what we learned while we were there. I hope you enjoy it!
