“The Acknowledged Mistress of Book In A Week”

I’ve been called “the acknowledged Mistress of Book in a Week.”  Book in a Week is a philosophy of writing and a process designed to let a person write faster, easier and have as much fun as possible doing so.  It grew out of all the things that I have learned as a writer over the years.  And make no mistake—I am a writer before all else!  You will find information on this website about workshops and coaching but I am a writer.  I love to create worlds with wonderful characters and imagine how people can find happiness and love and grow in ways that let them create the lives they want to have. 

I write what I do because I believe that each of us also has the ability to create the lives we want to have—no matter what the circumstances of our past may have been.  Whether in the Regency time period or the present or the future, my heroes and heroines will always find ways to rise above the challenges in their lives and treat others—or learn to treat others—with kindness and honor and respect. 

Most of my books have been set in the Regency time period.  Why not?  It was a time when so much was changing socially, politically, economically, and in personal relationships.  And just like today people were trying to adapt to all those changes and decide what to keep and what to let go of in terms of traditions and values and beliefs. 

So....welcome to my website.  You will find information on my published books and my speaking engagements, links to websites useful to writers, tips for writers on Book in a Week and time management, tips on public speaking and some of my personal thoughts as well.  -----April Kihlstrom

Upcoming Events: 

I am now offering online writing workshops.  Online classes will be conducted via email only, no real-time or live chats.  To receive notice of these workshops please subscribe to my email loop here.  This will be a notification only loop so you will only receive email when I want to let you know about an upcoming class.  (Note:  We’re all human, right?  Thanks to not enough coffee one Sunday morning and too much haste, I inadvertently made the original loop a closed loop so I've created a second class loop. The same information will go to both and this is the one that still lets new people join...)
