Others have gone over the content of Self Editing for Fiction Writers in detail. All I have to say is d... Read more

Review:Laughing Without an Accent is every bit as good as Funny in Farsi, her first book, with insights into the cultural differences faced by Mrs. Dumas.

Review:This was a quick read for me. The information was laid out step by step, very precise and direct to the point. There's also included seven videos for those that learn things easier by watching the video modes. For me most of the material is some of the things I had already known that the instead. If you are new to the temple platform. This is an excellent guide to get you started and have you going in the correct direction. There are a few tricks that I wasn't aware of.

Review:While never asking me to reflect on my own happiness, Wiener caused me to do so. And that simple act made me happier. With much humor and sincere curiosity he explored an elusive topic and what he discovered rang very true for me. Read more

Review:I bought this for my husband for a birthday gift, and we have already spent hours reading and looking through this amazing coffee table book. The pictures are incredible, the journeys look great, and it is fun to see where we've been and where we want to go. Read more

Review:This book has some nice pictures. However, many of the places shown are locations most Americans will never get to drive through. If you just want to look at pictures, this book is nice. If you want to find fun drives that you can actually do, there is not many here. Read more
