    The Emotional Craft of Fiction (eBook, ePUB)
    Engage Your Readers with Emotion While writers might disagree over showing versus telling or plotting versus pantsing, none would argue this: If you want to write strong fiction, you must make your readers feel. The reader's experience must be an emotional journey of its own, one as involving as your characters' struggles, discoveries, and triumphs are for you. That's where The Emotional Craft of Fiction comes in. Veteran literary agent and expert fiction instructor Donald Maass shows you how to use story to provoke a visceral and emotional experience in readers. Topics covered include: • emotional modes of writing • beyond showing versus telling • your story's emotional world • moral stakes • connecting the inner and outer journeys • plot as emotional opportunities • invoking higher emotions, symbols, and emotional language • cascading change • story as emotional mirror • positive spirit and magnanimous writing • the hidden current that makes stories move Readers can simply read a novel...or they can experience it. The Emotional Craft of Fiction shows you how to make that happen.

    Mr. President, Volume 2, Hörbuch, Digital, 593min
    The distinctive voice of Edward Arnold is featured in Mr. President, an anthology series that dramatizes little-known incidents of the men who have lived in the White House - dramatic, exciting events in their lives that you and I rarely hear. The uniqueness of the program is that the president is never identified during the proceedings; the great man's name is revealed only in a brief epilogue at the story's end. Featuring many of radio's top supporting players, Mr. President remains a fascinating program for history buffs and casual listeners alike, with a charm and appeal that is quite similar to contemporary dramatized audiobooks. Transferred directly from long-lost master recordings, most of the programs offered in volume 2 have not been heard since their original broadcast. Language: English. Narrator: Edward Arnold, Bea Benaderet, Gil Stratton, Hans Conreid, Lurene Tuttle, Herb Butterfield, Owen James. Audio sample: https://samples.audible.de/bk/drms/000934/bk_drms_000934_sample.mp3.

    Ferment , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 246min
    Author Chris Minnick exposes the gritty events and strange characters that inhabit a small traveling circus in his new novel, Ferment. Set in the recent past, the book provides a glimpse of what life might be like in the final days of a once-great institution of American entertainment. Told as a series of 48 short vignettes, Ferment bounces between past and present and between the ordinary and the extraordinary with playful and deceivingly simple language. The mysteries of the circus bubble up throughout the story's twists and turns as the listeners is drawn into a troubled world of people, institutions, and morals on the edge of collapse. Minnick's style has been compared to that of Kurt Vonnegut or Charles Bukowski. Those who enjoy hearing about quirky, raw characters and unfamiliar situations will love Ferment. ungekürzt.

There's not an ounce of pretty in me. I fight, I ride - and I do it alone. So chasing the gorgeous marine biologist who wanders into my bayou hunting for wolves is not my smartest move. She's Beauty. I'm the Beast. That story's already been told and life's fresh out of happy endings.

    Secret History: Mistborn , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 329min
    Mistborn: Secret History is a companion story to the original Mistborn trilogy. As such, it contains huge spoilers for the books Mistborn (The Final Empire), The Well of Ascension and The Hero of Ages. It also contains very minor spoilers for the book The Bands of Mourning. Mistborn: Secret History builds upon the characterisation, events and worldbuilding of the original trilogy. Listening to it without that background will be a confusing process at best. In short, this isn't the place to start your journey into Mistborn (though if you have listened to the trilogy - but it has been a while - you should be just fine, so long as you remember the characters and the general plot of the books). Saying anything more here risks revealing too much. Even knowledge of this story's existence is, in a way, a spoiler. There's always another secret. ungekürzt. Language: English. Narrator: Michael Kramer.

    Rob Roy , Hörbuch, Digital, ungekürzt, 1170min
    In 1819, Walter Scott published Rob Roy, a book that would eventually become one of the most-read historical novels of all time. The story unfolds through the eyes of Frank Osbaldistone, the son of an English merchant. Frank first travels to the north of England, eventually ending up in the Scottish Highlands. He is determined to collect on a debt owed to his father, but on his journey he encounters Rob Roy MacGregor, who sets the tone for the story's development. The story of Rob Roy takes place during a turbulent time in Scotland's history, just prior to the Jacobite rising of 1715. Although Rob Roy is an adventure, it also paints a portrait of the brutal reality of 18th century Scotland, and due to the political problems of the time, Rob Roy was initially published anonymously. ungekürzt.
