Look­ing for a lit­tle friendly may­hem? Decem­ber 1st is Kiss of Death Day.

Let’s face it, writ­ing can be a soli­tary busi­ness. We writ­ers spend a lot of our time alone with our key­boards or note­books with no one else around but the peo­ple who live in our heads. Granted, our fic­tional cre­ations can be good com­pany, but some­times we just need other folks who under­stand what we do and why we do it.

If you can call your writ­ing sus­pense­ful, then the Kiss of Death chap­ter of the Romance Writ­ers of Amer­ica may be just the ticket.

KOD pro­motes and sup­ports the writ­ing and read­ing of sus­pense and mys­tery fic­tion with strong roman­tic ele­ments. Formed in 1994, it’s one of the largest RWA chap­ters, with mem­bers from across the globe who join the online fam­ily of mayhem-loving writers.

Join­ing gives you access to all kinds of good stuff to help your writ­ing develop and grow. Today kicks off KOD’s annual mem­ber­ship drive. As a bonus, all new mem­bers or renew­ing mem­bers who join in Decem­ber will be entered to win a first chap­ter cri­tique from pub­lished Kiss of Death members.
