There’s more to writing fiction than just writing.

There’s something out there that you need to know. And understand. Or you––and your books––will be in trouble. What is this element?

Reader expectations.

It’s only when you understand your genre––and the expectations readers have when they choose that genre––that you can craft a compelling story to capture those readers and keep them coming back for more.

This guidebook is developed for you, the writer, to help you do exactly that. Two publishing professionals with over 35 years of experience writing and editing fiction share essential tips, how-tos, and golden rules for seven popular genres:

•Romance
•Historical Fiction
•Suspense
•Thriller
•Mystery
•Fantasy
•Inspirational

So dive in. Your readers are waiting.

This book was formerly published as A Field Guide to Genres in Fiction in the limited-time offering of the Writing Success anthology.

Surviving Henry: Adventures in Loving a Canine Catastrophe

Sometimes you seek out love, and sometimes is broadsides you…

You don’t always know what you’re getting into when you bring home a puppy. Enter Henry, a boxer who suffers from Supreme Dictator of the Universe Syndrome. He vandalizes his obedience school, leaps through windows, cheats death at every turn, and generally causes his long-suffering owner Erin Taylor Young to wonder what on earth she did that God would send this dog to derail her life.

Through his laugh-out-loud antics and escapades, Henry will steal readers’ hearts. Anyone who has ever owned a dog, especially a canine catastrophe like Henry, will enjoy this lighthearted book about a dog who brings new meaning to the concept of unconditional love.

Still Surviving Henry: The Untold Stories

 

The rogue torpedo of a dog is at it again!

Henry hauls author Erin Taylor Young and her readers into mischief, mayhem, hilarity, and heartwarming adventure. Come join Henry, canine catastrophe extraordinaire, as he romps through an all new collection of true life—and near-death—tales. You’ll laugh yourself silly—and maybe even shed a tear or two—as Henry shows that there’s a lot more to life than merely surviving.

For anyone who’s read Young’s first book, Surviving Henry: Adventures in Loving a Canine Catastrophe, it won’t be a surprise to learn that she couldn’t fit all his antics into one book. For readers who haven’t yet met Henry, here’s to your full-tilt initiation.
