1.		Characters, Emotion & Viewpoint: Techniques and Exercises for Crafting Dynamic Characters and Effective Viewpoints (Write Great Fiction) from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: "Characters, Emotion and Viewpoint" is helping me understand the importance of viewpoint, of focusing on what the main characters are feeling and experiencing within a story's moment of action. As one working on becoming a writer, this book is essential in understanding the importance of point of... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


2.		Elements of Writing Fiction - Beginnings, Middles & Ends (Elements of Fiction Writing) from Writers Digest Books Price: $10.19 Customer Review: I have always been told I'm a "good writer" and I have always wanted to "write" (specifically, make up stories and put them on paper. And despite starting with Aristotle's Poetics in high school, I guess I just didn't get it. Even so, I have spent most of my adult life in jobs that were dependent on... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information

4.		Dynamic Characters from Writers Digest Books Price: $11.55 Customer Review: Book Review Dynamic Characters by Nancy Kress Dynamic Characters is the fourth book on Characterization I've read. I have two to go. I've been beating my head against the wall of traditional publishing for almost forty years. Instead of taking creative writing classes at UCLA, and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


5.		Nano Comes to Clifford Falls: And Other Stories from Golden Gryphon Press Price: $16.47	Click here for more information


6.		Beggars in Spain from Eos Price: $11.86 Customer Review: I find it hard to believe that this book won the Hugo and Nebula Awards. I had just finished Neal Stephenson's "Diamond Age", which is a wild and engaging story about a young heroine in the age of nanotechnology-gone-wild. I thought "Beggars in Spain" would be a much better written story about... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


7.		Beggars and Choosers (Beggars Trilogy (also known as Sleepless Trilogy)) from Tor Science Fiction Customer Review: Beggars and Choosers is set some time after Beggars in Spain, and the focus has moved on to one of the new generation, Miranda. Here, society has changed remarkably into people that work, and those that don't, with the former providing basic levels of care and substitence to the rest. This... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


8.		Beggars Ride (Beggars Trilogy (also known as Sleepless Trilogy)) from Tor Science Fiction Customer Review: a sci fi book i borrowed from my friend. it's the last in a trilogy i did not read, but i was able to understand the jist of it. this is a future i actually could imagine, with those beautiful, drugged people being the ruling class. i found all of the characters very interesting, although the main... more info	Customer Rating: 3.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information

10.		Beginnings, Middles and Ends (Elements of Fiction Writing) from Writers Digest Books Customer Review: There are plenty of books offering advice to fiction writers out there. I searched extensively for the top three, basing my selection on the following criteria: 1. Publish date > 1990. America of the 1950s is different from America of the 2000s. What readers want to read is different. You want... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


11.		Stars: Original Stories Based on the Songs of Janis Ian (Daw Book Collectors, No. 1265) from DAW Hardcover Customer Review: Stars deserves ongoing mention as an extraordinary collection of science fiction inspired by the music of folk singer Janis Ian. Janis invited respected authors in the genre to contribute works influenced by her songs: the result is an unexpected, wonderful collection of original stories - based on... more info	Customer Rating: 5.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


12.		Maximum Light from Tor Books Customer Review: This is a first rate science fiction novel by one of the best writers in the genre. It is set in the near future, about thirty years from now, when chemical contamination of the environment has resulted in a precipitously falling birth rate and a high incidence of birth defects. Three totally... more info	Customer Rating: 3.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


13.		Crossfire (Cosmic Crossfire) from Tor Science Fiction Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Jake Holman and Gail Cutler head the expedition to colonize the new planet, Greentrees, with paying colonists from Earth.

They soon... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


14.	[no image]	Brainrose from Avon Books (Mm) Customer Review: I absolutely adore Nancy Kress: maybe that's why I feel somewhat put down by this novel. Don't get me wrong: it's good, just not quite good enough for somebody used to N.K. consistent excellence. The story starts off slow and unfortunately stays slow: there are many moments of "shattering... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


15.		An Alien Light from Avon Books (Mm) Customer Review: This is the first book I read authored by Nancy Kress (1948) and I look forward to read more from her pen! "An Alien Light" (1988) is a very interesting sci-fi novel with keenly defined characters and powerful argument. The story is as follows: in far future humankind has expanded thru... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


16.		Probability Space (The Probability Trilogy) from Tor Science Fiction Price: $6.99 Customer Review: Probability Space is a very disapponting conclusion to the probability Trilogy. The two first installments definitely had their moments even though they were not up to the best of Nacy Kress' contributions, but this book reads as if it was written be a completely different author. Half of the book... more info	Customer Rating: 2.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


17.		Black Swan, White Raven from Avon Books Customer Review: Why is this fairy tale anthology out of print? It's got a great collection of stories! I liked practically everything that was in here. SNOW WHITE, BLOOD RED may have been the first volume in editors Datlow and Windling's series of such books, but this fourth one is hands-down more gripping... the... more info	Customer Rating: 4.5 / 5.0 Click here for more information


18.		Nebula Awards Showcase 2003 (Nebula Awards Showcase) from Roc Trade Customer Review: A selection from the awards of that year. This includes a short introduction by the editor, and also a complete list of the awards. The last part is an excerpt from the novel by Asaro, the first part, apparently, not the novel itself. The problem might be the stories themselves, the Park and... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information


19.		Oaths and Miracles from Forge Customer Review: Kress tries to pull off four main viewpoint characters in 400 pages and fails. She has a great opening hook, and then the Vegas showgirl we followed for the first 25 pages hardly gets mentioned. Then the reader is alternated between a ex-marine with a drinking problem who wants his kids back, an FBI... more info	Customer Rating: 4.0 / 5.0 Click here for more information
