Customer Reviews

I hate it, I love it, I loathe it, I use it
Don't give it as a gift. Really. This book is beyond insulting to a writer. But, is it useful? You better believe it! It's especially useful when your brain has just cramped up from writer's block; or, when you need just the right hue of green for the hero's eyes and all you can think of is "glittery mold". Save yourself from insult and be sure to buy this book before someone thinks it a kindness to buy it for you.

A wonderful resource!
This book is a wonderful resource, not only for romance writers, but for creative writers in general. Kent and Shelton provide phrases that are springboards for original ideas by the writer. The phrases are vivid and have saved me a lot of time I would have spent looking for the right phrase in a thesaurus.

This book is wonderful!
As a novice romance writer, this book has helped me tremendously with dialogue. I suggest any beginning writer invest in this literary wonder!
