About

I published nearly a dozen novels and achieved sales of more than 4 million copies - and nobody saw my name because I was a ghostwriter. I am now proudly publishing as myself with two acclaimed literary novels, My Memories of a Future Life and Lifeform Three. I have more than 20 years experience as a mentor and book doctor with award-winning authors among my clients. I have a book series for writers, Nail Your Novel (and a blog http://www.nailyournovel.com), and I teach creative writing masterclasses for The Guardian newspaper in London. I have a show on Surrey Hills Radio, So You Want To Be A Writer  http://nailyournovel.wordpress.com/2014/09/29/so-you-want-to-be-a-writer-new-radio-show-to-get-you-started/ .

<p>A Serial Killer Plagues an Island Paradise<br /><br />Vigilante detective Emily Stone continues her covert pursuits to find serial killers and child abductors, all under the radar while shadowing police investigations.<br /><br />Emily searches for an abducted nine-year-old girl taken by ruthless and enterprising slave brokers. Following the clues from California to the garden island of Kauai, she begins to piece together the evidence and ventures deep into the jungle.<br /><br />It doesn’t take long before Emily is thrown into the middle of murder, mayhem, and conspiracy. Locals aren’t talking as a serial killer now stalks the island, taking women in a brutal frenzy of ancient superstitions and folklore. Local cops are unprepared for what lies ahead. In a race against the clock, Emily and her team must identify the killer before time runs out.</p>

Story Behind The Book

I've completed more than a dozen novels and I've helped other novelists find their way. I noticed time and time again that a lot of them were making the job of writing a lot harder for themselves than it needed to be - even experienced authors. For instance, many writers paint themselves into a corner because they are tackling the wrong problem at the wrong time. They get blocked because the critical parts of their brain are inhibiting their creativity. Or their overactive imagination is preventing them seeing a straightforward solution. Or they need to step back and see the whole structure instead of worrying about the detail. Over the years I've developed a method that that helps to make the whole writing process a lot more creative and fun. It draws on techniques from Hollywood scriptwriting, improvisational drama, sports psychology and project management - because experts in these fields have already solved some of the problems that novel-writers encounter. And not only will it help you finish the novel, it will help you write a book that is properly planned and polished - and more likely to succeed in today's market.
