Kiss of Death: The Place for the Murderously Inclined Romantic

Kiss of Death: The Place for the Murderously Inclined Romantic
What great romance doesn't have suspense in it? Whether a spy thriller in
Regency times, a paranormal romance with a revenge-seeking zombie, or a
traditional serial killer after the heroine, romance relies on suspense, leading
the reader through the trials of the heroine and hero to see if they will get
their happily ever after ending.

December 1 is Kiss of Death day. Yeah, that's how cool romantic suspense is as a
genre, it gets its own day. To celebrate, we're trying to make #romanticsuspense
a trending topic on Twitter today. Help us by sharing why you love romantic
suspense using the #romanticsuspense hashtag.

If you can call your writing suspenseful, then the Kiss of Death chapter of the
Romance Writers of America has something for you!

"I love so many things about KOD! I'm going with a tie: CLUES-N-NEWS because you
can ask the weirdest questions and get the best answers, and Lethal Ladies
because they helped me grow as a writer and find good friends." - Mina Khan

Formed in 1994, KOD - as we call our chapter - promotes and supports the writing
and reading of suspense and mystery fiction with strong romantic elements. We're
one of the largest RWA chapters with members from across the globe who join our
online family of mayhem-loving writers. Joining gives you access to a wide array
of programs to help your writing develop and grow.

"KOD has been a lifeline when it comes to death-related questions. It's a safe
place to discuss the macabre, run plots by experts, and find support among
fellow suspense writers. They know where to hide the bodies and cover their
tracks! (And if you can make it, the tours at the RWA National conference are
informative and lots of fun.)" - Anne Marie Becker

Top among membership benefits is our College of Felony and Intrigue (COFFIN)
online workshops for only $15 per class for KOD members. In addition, KOD offers
online networking, a critique group, brainstorming support and a book-in-a-week
challenge to help you to get that draft on paper. We support our members with an
active Facebook group and Twitter feed giving you access to the information you
need, whenever you need it.

"I love being a part of a group that gets mystery and suspense. Not everyone
does. I also love reading what people have to say on the loop. I've learned so
much from KOD." - Linsey Lanier

Nothing says romantic suspense like RWA's Kiss of Death chapter. Nothing says
I'm a romantic suspense author like being a KOD member. Join us today during our
annual membership drive. As an added 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.
