118,95 kr. About 80% of the world believes they have a novel in them. Most are probably right but they have no idea how to write one, develop plots, characters and atmosphere or how to structure a book of any genre, whether it be a thriller, a romance, a sci-fi epic or anything else. This book uses the problem-solving techniques of the top-level international business consultant to show you how to develop plots from almost anything and how to create characters that leap out of the pages with a life of their own. After that, it's the mechanics of writing that can stall the prospective novelist. What are the essential ingredients of each novel? How does a thriller differ from a sci-fi adventure? How do you write for kids and young adults? The author has written and published more than twenty-five books of his own and published more than that of other writers' works. He has taught writing classes with local groups and with the prestigious Camp Creative in Bellingen, NSW for the last two years and both groups have produced authors who have finally learned how to get that novel written that has been in their minds for many years. He uses the same workshop techniques to work with schoolchildren and develop a complete novel by getting the students to develop their own stories, characters and twists. This is the pathway to getting over that final hurdle at last and sit at the computer, typewriter or notebook and get that novel written.

238,95 kr. A massive conspiracy has been brewing in the USA since the end of WWII when two young American servicemen came home from the ruins of Berlin with stolen Nazi treasure and embarked on the creation of the "New America." Over fifty years they became the two richest men in the country and formed their secret committee consisting of some of the most powerful men in the nation, sufficiently well funded and connected to military, industrial, religious and political powers to establish control over the USA. A coup is planned after they have destabilised America by a series of murderous riots that kill tens of thousands. Only a small group of highly trained operatives learns about the conspiracy and is frantically working to destroy it as the day of the coup approaches. But not everything is as it seems, and neither the agents nor even the members of the Council for the New America know the real objectives of the Council's founders. The dreams of those two old men are far more complex, far more ambitious and far more lethal than any of them could possibly have envisaged.

333,95 kr. "From the hosts of the popular NBC Sports show Men in Blazers and one of the biggest soccer podcasts in the world, Roger Bennett and Michael Davies will profile the greatest male and female soccer players of all time. With the same signature humor as they brought to their New York Times Bestseller Encyclopedia Blazertannica, Bennett and Davis will feature a mini biography, fun facts and an illustrated or photographic portrait of both new and legendary soccer players, from Pelâe, Maradona, and Messi to Mia Hamm, Marta, and Megan Rapinoe. In their one-of-a-kind laugh out loud style and schtick, the guys will tell the stories of triumph, skill, and tenacity, experienced by household names like David Beckham and Alex Morgan, along with lesser-known icons such as Garrincha, the Brazilian star of the 1960's who was born with one leg six inches shorter than the other and Briana Scurry, who trail-blazed a path for young, black, soccer-playing women. Collectively, these stories will create a comprehensive history of soccer-its evolution and growth-as told by the lives of the legends of the game and the way their play transformed the world of soccer itself"--
