Santa Barbara Writers Conference
Improve Your Craft: The Santa Barbara Writers Conference is known for its supportive environment where fellow writers help one another hone their writing. Whatever genre you’re working in, you’ll find workshops led by experienced professional writers.
Find Your Tribe: Writers attending for the first time discover that suddenly they’re among others who care about story and wordsmithing as much as they do. What a rush it is to discover fellow humans who also see the world through the lens of storytelling. Writers who’ve attended SBWC keep coming back because this conference feels like going home.
Make Lifelong Connections: Friendships and professional connections made at SBWC tend to last. Why? Because this conference, from its first magical week in 1973, emphasized interaction between successful authors and brand-new writers. We keep going into the wee hours for the most hearty. There’s something about being a little sleep deprived that breaks down barriers and creates enduring friendships.

Haunted by the past, hunted by divine enemies, and armed with only fractured Memories and an unrelenting will, Kaivara must choose: reclaim her power and face the truth about Jadon, or watch Vallendor fall to a traitorous god’s rising.

Fog and Fury published!
She’s a new PI in a beautiful seaside town. It’s dirtier than it looks—and more dangerous too—in a twisting novel of suspense by the Anthony Award-nominated author of These Toxic Things.
After ten years on the force, LAPD cop Sonny Rush relocates with her elderly mother to peaceful Haven, California, to join her godfather’s burgeoning PI business. What crimes could possibly happen in a town nicknamed “Mayberry by the Sea”? Sonny’s first case: find Figgy, a missing goldendoodle last seen sporting a Versace collar. At least scouting out a dognapper gives Sonny a chance to get to know her new neighbors.
Forty-eight hours in town and Figgy’s disappearance entangles Sonny in an unwelcome reunion with her ex, one of Haven’s wealthiest citizens. And when the body of a teenage boy is found along a popular hiking trail, Sonny is drawn into a web of strange beyond anything she ever saw in LA.
Then comes a local’s warning: question everything. Haven hides secrets that could destroy its idyllic facade. Or destroy Sonny first.
