Creative Writing Class at Arab Museum in Dearborn

FREE CREATIVE WRITING WORKSHOP AT AANM

Dearborn, MI (September 17, 2007) – The Arab American National Museum invites all budding authors to attend a free interactive creative writing workshop from 1-2:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 6.

The workshop is presented by Haley Elizabeth Garwood, author of the Warrior Queen series of novels based on actual historical figures and published by Writers Block. Garwood’s 2005 title Zenobia chronicles the adventures of a Syrian queen of the Third Century A.D. When Zenobia’s king-husband is assassinated by the Romans, a supposed ally, she rallies her own troops to avenge his death and protect her home city of Palmyra.

Garwood will also do a brief reading from Zenobia at the conclusion of the workshop. Read more about the author at http://www.haleyelizabethgarwood.com/.
