Whether from books, movies, comics, or television shows, the characters I love mean something to me. They give me hope. They teach me lessons that become ingrained into the fabric that makes me who I am. If you get me spun up, I can talk about my favorite characters in the same way I talk about best friends. So, yes. The characters I love are real to me, and there isn’t anything you can do or say to convince me otherwise. --- So begins award-winning SF author Ron Collins’s celebration of characters that matter. From Katniss Everdeen to Tyrion Lannister, from James Bond to Lieutenant Dan (and maybe a few more!), Collins brings his unique perspective built through thirty years of experience to examining some of the most iconic characters ever presented on the page.

Praise for Patrick Quinlan's writing: "Tarantino-esque novel about the past catching up with an ex-criminal turned children’s toymaker, and by extension with his young girlfriend Lola. Lots of villains and violent deaths plus likeable characters and some quirky humour. The first chapter – in which Lola busts her way out of a thoroughly nasty rape scenario with karate-kicking panache – would hook anyone." -- The Bookseller (UK) "Graphic action and exhilarating chases ensue as Quinlan's characters play cat-and-mouse through Portland,...makes one hope that Smoke hasn't quit the life entirely. Lola is a fierce delight." -- Publishers Weekly "A fast and furious thriller notable for a vintage collection of really rotten bad guys. Characters to care about, even the no-goods. Readers may be bearing early witness to the arrival of a major talent." -- Kirkus Reviews "SMOKED should absorb any fan of Bruckheimer blockbusters and everything else that goes boom." -- Entertainment Weekly "A fast-paced thriller...the story moves at warp speed, capped by a cinematic chase...before ending in spectacular fashion." -- Los Angeles Times

Her awareness is inside Number Nine, the incredible ninth generation prototype of Suncoast’s immensely successful Sexbot line of robotic companions - which Susan herself invented. Number Nine is on the run with Mr. Blue, the corporate assassin who killed Susan Jones. After a blood-soaked confrontation with militarized Suncoast security forces on the docks in Key West, Blue and Nine escape to Cuba. Suncoast CEO Howard Neale believes mind downloading confers immortality, and will be worth hundreds of billions of dollars to the company. Meanwhile company Chairman James Walsh is dying of cancer and wants to use the technology to save himself.

Suncoast scientist Ravi Kapoor has invented the ultimate artificially intelligent home companion - a device he calls God. Howard wants Ravi to take over the mind downloading project in Susan’s absence - rushing straight to human trials with violent convicts at a secret maximum security prison in the remote scrub desert of southwest Texas. Ravi just wants to spend his time developing God. But God has other plans. Mr. Blue and Number Nine are on a collision course with Howard, Suncoast Cybernetics and now Eris - a Sexbot with the downloaded mind of a white supremacist previously on Death Row. A high-tech corporation becoming a law unto itself. Killer robots designed to look and act like small children. A sociopathic artificial intelligence who believes the time of humans is reaching its end. And a Sexbot harboring the awareness of an amoral killer set loose to run amok. Nine Lives is the sequel to Sexbot, by Patrick Quinlan. It’s a fast-paced, sexy, dystopian adventure, with twists, turns and shocking surprises. * * * Praise for Patrick Quinlan: “A turbo-charged tour de force.” -- Port City Life “A fast-paced thriller...the story moves at warp speed, capped by a cinematic chase...before ending in spectacular fashion.” -- Los Angeles Times “Tightly plotted, confidently written and very hip” -- Sunday Observer

Book Synopsis Write Your Novel from the Middle by : James Scott Bell
Download or read book Write Your Novel from the Middle written by James Scott Bell and published by Compendium Press. This book was released on 2014-03-15 with total page 92 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A powerful secret and a fresh approach to writing bestselling fiction! What's the best way to write a "next level" novel? Some writers start at the beginning and let the story unfold without a plan. They are called "pantsers," because they write by the "seat of the pants." Other writers plan and outline and know the ending before they start. These are the "plotters." The two sides never seem to agree with each other on the best approach. But what if it's not the beginning or the end that is the key to a successful book? What if, amazing as it may seem, the place to begin writing your novel is in the very middle of the story? According to #1 bestselling writing teacher James Scott Bell, that's exactly where you'll find your story's heart and heat. Bell's "Mirror Moment" is the secret, and its power is available to any writer, at any stage of the writing process. Bringing together years of craft study and personal discovery, Bell presents a truly unique approach to writing a novel, one that will stand the test of time and serve you all your writing life. "I need three things before I tackle a new novel: Diet Coke, a laptop, and my dog-eared copies of James Scott Bell's books on writing craft!"- Kami Garcia, #1 NYT Times & International Bestselling author
Book Synopsis The Craft of Character by : Mark Boutros
Download or read book The Craft of Character written by Mark Boutros and published by Mark Boutros. This book was released on 2020-12-24 with total page 307 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: “The most complete and comprehensive guide to character I've ever read." Adam Croft Character is at the heart of every story. We love stories because we fall in love with characters, we want to see what happens to them and we want to see them experience hope and despair. International Emmy nominated writer, Mark Boutros, offers a guide to creating characters who are engaging, emotionally driven and memorable. With experience as a screenwriter, novelist, creative writing teacher and mentor, Mark shares a mixture of theory and creative writing exercises to get you thinking about the questions to have in your mind during character creation. A lot of stories are perfectly functional, hitting all the right beats, but often fall short due to a thin or obvious character. Problems people think are related to plot are often symptoms of a deeper issue with the characters. Mark highlights what is at the core of character, the importance of motivation, trauma, obstacles and how every little detail can enrich an experience for an audience and ultimately make people care. How do you get to know people? By asking questions and getting to know them so you move past the shallow. Do the same during character development and your story will be so much more engaging for it. Each chapter focuses on an aspect important to character development and ends with exercises so you can apply the concepts to your work and write better characters. The book includes: - Goals, desires, lessons - Stakes to your character’s goal - Character flaws - Developing your character’s voice and world view - Generating truthful obstacles - How to write anti-heroes and compelling villains - Character and personality traits - Common mistakes in character writing - Character research - A character questionnaire The majority of the ideas originate from the author’s screenwriting experience, but they apply to all forms of story, whether it be fiction writing or playwriting, because the focus is on what really makes a character stand out and memorable. The job of the writer is to deliver an emotional experience. Character is the heart of that. If you're looking for a book to help you to improve your screenplay writing, fiction writing, or play writing then this is for you. An invaluable tool for beginner and experienced writers. This is perfect for anyone interested in screenwriting books, fiction writing books, or character development books. Praise for The Craft of Character: “Would 100% recommend not only for beginners, but also for experienced writers looking to get to know their characters better. A bit like writer-character therapy.” reader review “Both the chapters and the exercises are easy to understand and get through. Mark Boutros clearly knows his stuff and seems happy to be able to help the reader, rather than becoming lecturing and elitist. The structure of the book also means that it is easy to dip back into, when you come across a specific problem, and as such it is a great little reference book, which any aspiring storyteller would benefit from.” reader review “Normally, I find myself arguing with the author of craft books, but here I would say 90% of what I read were things I either found helpful, or flat out agreed with whole heartedly and just needed a reminder on why these things are important. The exercises were a excellent touch, especially as someone who is teaching writing, it gave me ideas on what to do for my students.” reader review
