The Fiction Corner: An Ultimate Behind-the-Scenes Look at Book Creation and Novel Combined

I’m excited to share a new writing project with you!

I’m in the process of releasing my serialized fiction on my new Substack called The Fiction Corner.

In “The Fiction Corner,” I explore the creative process by sharing excerpts from a diverse collection of books I’ve been working on recently.

I plan to regularly provide insights into reading and analyzing the writing process to help you better understand how to achieve success in your own fiction.

Get a sneak peek into my completed novel, “The Journey,” a captivating travel romance that delves into the complexities of love intertwined with adventure. As a special treat for my community, my new novel, “The Journey (A Travel Romance),” is set to release on April 24th, and you can pre-order it now for just 99 cents!

Be sure to check out Miss Understood and the Case of the Missing Locket, which is now available on Amazon.

When Grace Underwood arrives on Kelley’s Island to teach at a one-room schoolhouse, she expects a quiet year of traditional lessons. Instead, she finds herself embroiled in a century-old mystery when one of her students, Ashley Reed, claims to be communicating with the ghost of a Civil War soldier’s son.

This enchanting middle-grade novel reminds us that sometimes the most extraordinary discoveries come from being misunderstood – and that every person and every object has a story waiting to be told.

Perfect for fans of The Ghost of Grey Fox Inn, Chasing Vermeer, and The Mysterious Benedict Society, this captivating tale will inspire young readers to look beyond the surface and discover the hidden stories all around them.

Why this? Why now?

My business parable, “Networking is Dead,” became a Wall Street Journal bestseller. After guiding 170 thought leaders in crafting impactful non-fiction books, I’m focusing on the unique advantages writers can gain by exploring fiction.

Writing fiction offers a powerful way to elevate my creative process and publishing journey, while also enabling me to better support authors in creating their distinctive works.

This showcase is not merely about book writing tips; it explores the entire process of drafting, revising, and refining a book while navigating the challenges and breakthroughs that arise.

Here’s what you can expect:

• Behind-the-Scenes Insights: I’ll share the real experiences and decisions that shaped “The Journey,” providing a transparent view of the creative process.
• Understanding the Craft: I’ll discuss the elements that make great books, focusing on character development, plot structure, and emotional resonance, all drawn from my experiences while writing “The Journey.”

If you’re passionate about writing or simply curious about how compelling fiction is crafted, I invite you to join me on this journey. Together, we’ll uncover the magic of book creation and storytelling.

This is a community. What will it look like?

I’m building a vibrant and supportive community of writers and readers who share a passion for writing books. In this community, I will focus on:

• Collaboration: Encouraging members to share their experiences, insights, and feedback on each other’s work.
• Learn: Providing resources, workshops, and discussions that help members improve their writing skills and understand the nuances of fiction creation.
• Inspiration: Sharing success stories, challenges, and breakthroughs to motivate one another in our creative journeys.
• Connection: Fostering a welcoming environment where members can connect, network, and form lasting friendships based on a shared love for books and storytelling. I’ll use my book, “Networlding,” an Amazon bestseller out of Chicago, for an entire year overall categories. “Networlding” was licensed by Yale University through its graduate school and Motorola through its corporate university. Now, I use my methodology to help my thought leader authors build their vibrant author platforms.By cultivating this kind of community, I hope to create a space where everyone feels empowered to explore their creativity and grow as writers.
