How Real Settings Can Become Remarkable Characters in Your Mysteries
Web Seminar Download

When setting defines a story, when that story can't be envisioned anywhere else, it becomes a character in your mystery. Learn how to make your setting a breathing, living entity that adds new depth and meaning to the storytelling. See how setting can create a dynamic feel to your writing and affect your characters deep enough to alter their course, change their purpose, build them up ... and tear them down. Realize how setting, especially if that place exists, can define your character's very existence and give your mystery a richer flavor.

The Action Starts at the Start
Web Seminar Download

Thrillers, especially those involving lots of action and adventure, should always begin with a thrilling scene that not only draws the reader in but keeps them glued to the pages long into the night. The "Raiders" lesson teaches that thrillers should begin with a hair-raising scene this is crafted not only to entice the reader but to make them feel like they're part of action. In a word, thriller writers want their readers to sweat. Learn how to make them do so by starting your novel with a bang!

How to Weave Backstory Seamlessly Into Your Novel
Web Seminar Download

Behind every well-developed novel lies an important backstory-but including too much of it too soon can halt your story's momentum. A good storyteller has no trouble thinking up rich histories for his or her characters. But a good novelist holds these details back, revealing them only at the time that best serves the story. In this session, internationally published thriller author Karen Dionne will teach the finer points of managing backstory in a novel.

Invincible: Creating Compelling Heroes and Villains
Web Seminar Download

The mystery-crime-thriller genre appeals to readers not only because of its wrenching plots but because of its unforgettable characters. Foremost among them are the heroes and villains whose cat-and-mouse battle provides the central action and drives the story. In this session, award-winning author David Corbett will show students how to create convincing and complex heroes and villains, with an emphasis on how to make them reflections of each other; how to anchor them in irreconcilable moral visions; and how to use real life cops and criminals as inspiration.

Incorporating the Law Into Your Legal Thrillers
Web Seminar Download

Few things are more disconcerting for the savvy reader than spotting mistakes. It takes the reader out of the book and erodes trust with the author. In this session, writers will learn about general concepts concerning the legal system and trial practice. In addition, writers will learn about how to handle preliminary and advanced legal research. Along the way, Adam may tell a few anecdotes about his own legal practice, and how he incorporates it into his fiction.

Keep the Pages Turning: Creating and Maintaining Tension and Suspense
Web Seminar Download

In Keep the Pages Turning: Creating and Maintaining Tension and Suspense, award-winning author Robert Dugoni shares how to master this skill. Writers will learn techniques employed by established authors to create conflict, to inject conflict into flat scenes, and to create the tension and suspense readers crave in the best novels.

Disappointed.
Color: Blue, Size: Large, Color: Blue, Size: Large
This sweater is so comfortable and very soft. It fits well in a flattering, oversized way. But after one wash it is pilled everywhere which makes it look old and shabby. It’s at a price point where I feel compelled to return it.

Perfect for casual wear and dressy style
Color: Dark Green, Size: Small
This sweater is soooo soft and the color is so rich. The fit of it is perfect, not too tight and not too baggy, just right and I used the size guide to pick my size. Just for reference, I am 5'3" and 130lbs, 38C bust. It's well made and washes great. I chose to hang dry mine as I typically don't put any of my sweaters in the dryer to dry, just to fluff them. I have this one in two colors, the green and the tan/beige and I would say they are both a true representative of the color shown.

Love the long sleeves!!!
Color: White, Size: Small
Love it! I'm 5' 11" tall and I purchased this according to reviews. Several people commented on the length of the sleeves. I have a hard time finding sleeves long enough if it's not " tall" sized. It was perfect for me. If this washes nice I'm going to consider purchasing more in other colors. I ordered the white and just love the long ribbed cuffs with the line of buttons. Very soft.

Great sweater for winters in the Midwest
Color: Black, Size: X-Large
Love this sweater! I went back and got another color! The fit is true to size and very comfy. The button detail on the sleeves just adds a little pizazz. The weight of the sweater is perfect for winters in the Midwest.
