About me:
NOVELIST'S BOOT CAMP; 101 Ways to Take your Fiction from Boring to Bestseller from Writers Digest Books.
If you think you might be interested in NOVELIST'S BOOT CAMP, you're encouraged to "try before you buy." Drop by www.storytellerroad.com and download a free excerpt, a free copy of the "Battle Map for Success," and see what others say about the book.
Mystery and suspense fans will also be interested in two mysteries about an emotionally traumatized former FBI profiler turned PI who pursues some very sadistic killers in Chicago's affluent suburbs (CLOSE TO HOME and NO PLACE LIKE HOME).
If you like James Patterson and
--Tough but tortured heroes
--Thoroughly evil vicious criminals
--And mystery/suspense that makes you lock the doors at night
--you'll enjoy CLOSE TO HOME and NO PLACE LIKE HOME
My two technothrillers are KRIEGSPIEL, published by Presidio Press (Random House) and THE BEST DEFENSE -- a "tough chicks in uniform with guns kicking butt" military action-adventure novel.
You can find out more at www.storytellerroad.com
The Novelist Boot Camp workshop--based on the book--is presented at readers's and writers' conferences and conventions nationwide. For lovers of dark fiction--be they readers or writers or both--the best of the best is Love is Murder (LIMCON). Always the first weekend in February, LIMCON is Chicagoland's premier mystery and dark fiction readers' and writer's conference Love is Murder . You can find out about the next conference at www.loveismurder.net.
Novelist's Boot Camp offers drills around high value target editing and proofreading. For a humorous YouTube look at proofreading, go here.
T.A. Stone, the author of Novelist's Boot Camp and the other works on this page, lives in a perfectly normal suburb of Chicago.

Who I'd like to meet:
Aspiring writers, especially as yet un-published novelists, who think they could benefit from information on the structure, process, and techniques of writing modern fiction. We'd also like to meet authors of any genre and fans of mysteries, thrillers, technothrillers, and good how-to books, fellow bikers, and airborne Ranger infantrymen, those with a tab in other branches, and vets in general. Scotch drinkers, corporate communicators, librarians, booksellers, reviewers, magazine editors, you all come along too.
Where should we meet? The Irish Lion, of course http://www.irishlion.com/
The Irish Lion is the official restaurant of Novelist's Boot Camp!
