Paperback. Zustand: Good. Story loves structure.and so do readers Super Structure represents over two decades of research on what makes a novel or screenplay entertaining, commercial, original, and irresistible. Contrary to what some may think, structure is not a nasty inhibitor of creativity. Quite the opposite. Properly understood and utilized, structure is what translates story into a form readers are wired to receive it. And it is only when readers truly connect with your story that they turn from casual readers into fans. The material in this book greatly expands upon the chapter on structure in Write Your Novel From the Middle. Super Structure can be considered a companion to that book, but it also stands alone in its treatment of the elements of a solid and pleasing plot. Here's more good news: Super Structure will work for any type of writer--those who like to outline, those who just fly by the seat of the pants, and those who do a little of both. That's because Super Structure stresses the concept of signpost scenes. There are fourteen signpost scenes, or beats, that can be used to create an entire plot, the skeleton of an idea, or a map to help you figure out what to write next. Every signpost is given its own chapter and explanation, along with a section called Helpful Hints for Plotters and Pantsers, showing you how to apply what you've learned and adapt it to your own style of writing. Never write a weak novel or screenplay again. Super Structure is a proven foundation that never fails. It frees you to add your original voice and vision, all of which adds up to bestselling fiction and hit screenplays.

Paperback. Zustand: Fair. Ty Buchanan thought he was defending a simple DUI.It's Christmas time, and a six-foot-five, 280-pound drunk driver named Carl Richess is stopped on Hollywood Boulevard. He's wearing only a G-String and a Santa hat, and insists his reindeer need to be fed. Ty Buchanan, now defending the down and out, takes the case.But soon this simple DUI becomes something no one saw coming-a homicide. As Ty and his assistant, Sister Mary Veritas, dig deeper, they uncover tentacles of corruption that reach into the citadels of city power. Soon the case catches the attention of the media, putting Ty and everyone else involved in the spotlight. When Sister Mary starts getting threatening e-mails from a cyberstalker, Ty is sure it has something to do with the upcoming trial. He must track down the real killer, and soon. Because somewhere in the dark labyrinth of L.A. is someone who will do anything to keep from being found out, someone who knows how to use the greatest weapon-fear.

Deftly plotted, flawlessly executed, and compulsively readable, Bell takes his place among the top authors in the field. Highly recommended. -Sheldon Siegel, New York Times bestselling author.…
