You’re welcome! I’ve read a lot of books about the art of writing; figured it was time to share my favourites. By the way, the first book on the list, “Wired for Story,” was recommended by Lois J.Peterson at the BC Federation of Writers weekend retreat. I downloaded it to my Kindle as soon as I got home; love it!
Best always,
Annie
