There are lots of great things happening in the next few months. It may be coming to the end of the school year and everyone wants to go on vacation but writers and the First Coast Romance Writers group will be working hard to bring you great workshops, the winners of the NERFA contest and a brand new “Tropical Romance” themed anthology for you to purchase and enjoy. The anthology will be available for preorder on Amazon by the first week in June. The NERFA awards will be announced on July 8, 2023!
