    This is a wonderful seminar in book form. I took notes as I read and used them to clean up my current work. I can't tell you how much this has improved my manuscript. Thank you, Sherry Lewis, for your understandable content and the homework sections. This is a definite must read for anyone wanting to write mystery. It's a keeper.
