I don't think that prolific novelist Monte Schulz, also the new owner of the Santa Barbara Writers Conference, (www.sbwriters.com) would argue that he learned a thing or two about the craft of writing at this conference that is now relaunched thanks to his efforts. At Schulz's recent book signing, readers described The Last Rose of Summer as a 'woman's story.
