Oakley Hall, now deceased, wrote this fabulous book and used it in his Creative Writing classes at University of Californis at Irvine. Hall won many awards for his own writing. Two novels were made into movies, Warlock and Down Hill Racer.
Take advantage of the knowledge in this instruction book. Then start writing !!!!
