June Meeting | What’s Your Theme?

As authors, at some point in our careers, most of us have been asked by potential readers: “What’s your book about?” If you have struggled with answering this question, chances are you have a problem with understanding the theme. Like plot, setting, and characterization, the theme of a story is important. Having a firm grasp of it helps us to focus on other story elements. We will discuss theme and how it relates to your story.

Bob Avey is the author of Sandcastle for Pegasus, a tale of urban fantasy, and the Kenny Elliot mystery series, which includes Twisted Perception, Beneath a Buried House, Footprints of a Dancer, and Identity Theft. He lives in Broken Arrow, Oklahoma, where he is retired from the petroleum industry. Through his writing, which he describes as a blend of literary and genre, he explores the intricacies and extremities of human nature.
