Three dimensional characters, characters who seem to live and breathe, are at the heart of a great story. That's what my new book, How to Write a Genre Story, is about.
I'm blogging the book before I release it and the number of posts has grown and grown and... Well, an index is needed.
I'm looking for beta readers. If this is something you think you might like to do, please contact me.
