Declared by ABC’s Nightline as one of the three best-selling authors of romantic fiction, the award-winning Allen resident Parris Afton Bonds has more than thirty-five published novels. Parris co-founded both the Romance Writers of America and the Southwest Writers Workshop. Her most recent book Dancing With Wild Woman is a mystery that combines the spirituality and mysticism of the Hopi with a thrilling race to stop a monstrous serial killer who is causing havoc on the reservation. Award winning authors Rita Clay Estrada and Kathleen Rogers will join Paris to discuss “Romance” writing.
