 What if you had a knowledgeable coach to help you understand how to create compelling characters?  Page turning stories?  Compulsive plots?  How does a seasoned writer answer any and all questions you may have about the art and craft of creative writing?  I have learned much and am willing to put that experience to work for you.  


Have you ever wondered, where do compelling characters come from?  How does a writer like Shakespeare tap into such basic instincts and end up with a masterful, infinitely complex character like Hamlet?  Or maybe on a more basic level, how does Santiago come about in Hemingway's imagination and writing, where a legendary fish becomes a life's obsession..  How would you like to tell tales of life-long rapturous passion, seething vengence, calculated cunning?  Did you know you have all of those characters and more inside you, just bursting to be expressed?  You have genius and magic, and wonder inside you, to paraphrase Goethe.  Don't cheat the world of your magic, your stories, the worlds inside you!
