What's the most annoying thing about writing a novel? They don't write themselves. What's the second most annoying thing about writing a novel? No, really, they don't write themselves. What the hardest thing about writing a novel? Actually turning your sexy outline into a real book. With words, and stuff. Sure, you've got a really awesome outline, a notebook full of character sketches, and your work space is overflowing with "research" materials, but that blank page is still staring at you. Getting ready to write a book is one thing, but actually putting all the words down on the page--in the right order, more or less--can be even harder than coming up with a clever idea or two.

How do they find the time and the persistence to actually finish a book? Finish Your Novel! is the guidebook for getting all that work done.

Plus charts and boxes and stuff that will round out a full call to action. A call that will help you finish that novel!

1872: The shattered South is struggling under the yoke of Reconstruction; the North has turned its attention to lands west of the mighty Mississippi. The United States is haunted by the blood that has been spilled, and only a few are ready to stand against the coming darkness. During the War, Elmore Stonebrook was a celebrated Sharpshooter for the Army of the Potomac. Known as God's Finger for the deadly accuracy of his rifle, Stonebrook fought for freedom for all men, but lost his way in the process. Judge Willard Vernon Wallace once sat on the high bench in Louisiana. He loved the law; he served the law; but the law betrayed him. Now, his gavel is the butt of his revolver and his courtroom is anywhere he can sling a rope over a tree branch. In the small Missouri town of Bitter, they run into an old friend of the Judge's, Isadora Van Horn, whose ranch is threatened by a greedy landowner. He wants everything-her land, her cattle, her body-and he's willing to do anything to get what he wants. Including making a deal with the Devil himself, a deal that includes a wolf that walks on two legs . . .

The Potemkin Mosaic is the dream journal of a man who is losing his mind. Black market dream doctor Harry Potemkin edits people's memories for a living, and when he suspects that his own memories are being edited, he starts writing down his dreams. As Harry deconstructs his dreams, he discovers that he-Harry Potemkin-may not be a real person. His entire life might be nothing more than a persona adopted by someone else as a way of coping with mental trauma. As Harry falls farther and farther into the dream world, he discovers both a secret history of dreams and a covert conspiracy run by a pharmaceutical corporation who has been testing mind-altering drugs on unknown patients for decades. The Potemkin Mosaic turns traditional narrative problems on their heads. Harry's investigation into his identity is a surreal, self-devouring tour de force into the associative dreamscapes of contemporary consciousness. Who are we? may be the ultimate question we all face, but Harry takes it one step further and wonders: Who are we when we dream, and is that our true identity?
