From the Author:
This book has been written and rewritten over the course of over a quarter century of making a living as a writer. I've added to it as I've more and more about the craft, art and process of writing.It's a Toolkit in that there are no hard and fast rules. It's not the hammer's fault if you try to use it when you actually need a saw. My belief is that you have to learn the craft, then you become an artist. 
About the Author:
Bob Mayer spent 20 years on active and reserve duty in the infantry and Green Berets. He later went on to become a writer and instructor at the JFK Special Warfare Center & School at Fort Bragg, North Carolina. He's published 23 books under his own name and several pen names. The books in his Area 51 series, written as Robert Doherty, are consistent USA Today bestsellers. Mayer is also an instructor for the Writer's Digest School, and currently resides on Hilton Head Island, South Carolina.
