Add to basketThere are millions upon millions of How to Write books out there. So, why bother writing another one? Simple really: David Farland. His book "Million Dollar Outlines" promises to show you how to outline. On the back cover of his book, it says he'll teach you how to analyze an audience and outline a novel. On the inside of the book, it says he'll teach you how to outline. At the end of the book, he says, he will not show you how to outline but he'll go through the process.
To me, that's a lie. I've noticed this in a lot of books. I have read many books on outlining, plotting, etc.; most are wordy and the advice is hidden (if given).
Why read this?
Because I promise to actually, really, really, really, SHOW YOU the process I use. I will also try my best to answer your questions.
As a practicing writer, I am always looking for tips to improve. I'm a discovery writer (AKA pantser) and I would like to blend the process.
This book contains only meat and bones. No fluff, no filler, no BS.

Award-winning author, Lee Pletzers is a displaced New Zealand writer of the weird, wonderful and grotesque.
Since 2001, he has impacted the genre world, under the pen name Richard Lee. Over seventy short stories have slammed his name on anthologies and magazines across the globe; for example; The Literary Hatchet, Calamities Press, Under the Bed and Nebula Rift. His short story "Water" was the finalist in the Sir Julius Vogel awards NZ 2015 as was his horror fan site in 2010. Five novels affected humanity and two novellas were the icing on the cake.
He is now making the move into crime thrillers. He reads a lot of them and figures he might know a thing or two. His entrance into this genre starts with the Death World duology.
