This is one of those free online writing courses that break with the traditional approach to teaching writing. You will learn what I have learned about turning personal occurrences into stories. Let these stages of writing development be inspirational, a springboard to good writing habits. Tips for writing a story will be given as we analyze the first exciting chapter of each of my two published novels. Discussion will begin with the curious manner in which I came up with the ideas for each of my novels. Exciting first chapters will be posted along with analysis of their composition. An outline for writing a novel and a story synopsis, along with myriad other book composition instructions, will be posted.
My three published novels are The Tropics: Child of a Storm-Caught in a Rip-Hurricane Secret, a sea/island adventure, The Ka, a paranormal Egyptian fantasy, and, River Bones, a mystery/thriller.

As one local newspaper writer said in her review: “Based on Deal’s real-life, near-death experiences and shatters notions of stereotypical islands of paradise.” To that I would add that The Tropics is ...about life beyond the façade of tropical breezes and swaying palm trees, with people being stretched to the limits of survival.
