A book that does what it says! - By: Kate Hardy, M&B Medical Romance author, 25 Jun 2003
If you want to learn alll the nuts & bolts of writing romance, & you want to know the facts instead of ruffling through pages of flowery prose, this is the book for you.

Kate Walker's book does exactly what it says - it's a straightforward guide. She starts by making you think about why you want to write the book (motivation's as important for an author as it is for a character!!); then takes you through creating your characters & their dialogue, their setting, plot & conflict, viewpoint & love scenes; shows you how to craft a good beginning, middle & end; teaches you how to target & submit your work, reminds you about the 5 Ws (and one H),and even gives you a 12-point plan to help you work our what you need to do for your own book.

Kate reallly knows her stuff & it shows. This book is very clear, very honest - & has a sense of humour thrown in. For new romance writers, this is one of the best investments you could make in your career.
