June 2026 Meeting
Balancing Action and Emotion for Pace
A great action scene grabs a reader’s attention and propels them on a suspenseful, exciting, and emotional ride. An exceptional action scene can do this while also enhancing character, situation, history, relationship, and/or culture without slowing the pace. As with most things in life and in art, the key lies in balance. Join author, narrator, and martial arts expert Tori Eldridge as she shares her secrets for writing action-packed, emotive, and revelatory scenes.
Tori Eldridge is the bestselling author of HAWAI‘I RAGE and KAUA‘I STORM (Ranger Makalani Pahukula Mysteries), the standalone novel DANCE AMONG THE FLAMES, and the acclaimed Lily Wong ninja thrillers—THE NINJA DAUGHTER, THE NINJA’S BLADE, THE NINJA BETRAYED, and THE NINJA’S OATH. Her work has earned nominations for Anthony, Lefty, and Macavity Awards, and won the 2021 Crimson Scribe Award for Best Book of the Year. Tori resides in Portland, Oregon, where she helps care for her grandchildren, narrates her audiobooks, and is writing her next novel. She has performed on Broadway, television, and film, and holds a 5th degree black belt in To-Shin Do ninja arts.
