My Writing Technique: Simple Tips From a Crime Fiction Author
When it comes to writing novels, I’ve always found it helpful to break down the scenes on index cards. A story has a beginning, a middle, and an end.

The Iceberg Theory: Ron Franscell on Research and Writing
Life-long journalist and author Ron Franscell talks about the importance of research in the writing process: For me, the most fascinating element of storytelling, whether fiction or nonfiction, is research.
