Finally a GREAT Book on creating a novel
In the past five years, well, since I started writing fiction, I have read, skimmed, even studied many books on writing. There are several that I have found to be helpful–i.e.WRITING THE BREAKOUT NOVEL by Donald Maass. But, generally speaking, I find most books on writing to be dull and overly complicated. This week, I bought a book called FROM THE INSIDE OUT.
It’s by Susan May Warren and Rachel Hauck whom I happen to know through ACFW–both award winning, multi-published authors (and really nice ladies). But they didn’t tell me about their book, my agent did. He thought it might help me think through a few holes in a story I’ve been working on and WOW, he was right. This is an easy to read, very practical, very accessible approach to story building. Honestly, the most useful book I’ve come across. It’s only $15 if you download it onto your computer from their MY BOOK THERAPY website. I highly recommend you check it out…
Happy Writing

Romantic Times Four Star Review (continued)
Here’s the actual write-up.
PROTECTOR’S HONOR (4) by Kit Wilkinson: During the last three miles of a triathlon, Rory Farrell rescues Tabitha Beaumont from an attempted abduction. An ex-Marine, now NCIS agent, Rory soon finds himself helping Tabitha discover why someone is after her and how it involves her dentist brother, Max. When a man who knows her brother, and whom Tabitha once dated, is murdered, it becomes apparent that the bad guys are playing for keeps, and the situation may involve theft of information that could threaten national security. Plenty of action, a heartwarming love story and a good mystery make this a compelling read.
