One day I'll write that damn book!

Learn the proven methods that transform "one day" into "today", and get your thriller written, once and for all.

Do you know how many times I’ve heard that phrase?

The reality is: in most cases, that potential next best seller ends up going nowhere.

And if you’re reading this now, it means you’ve had an idea in your head, and most probably, you’ve had it stuck in there for a while.

I know exactly how you feel.

I went through the same thing many years ago, when computers were a luxury for a few and we wrote with typewriters.

More than once I wanted to throw everything away…

But I always dreamed of being a writer, so I kept going.

The desire to publish my first book motivated me despite all the numerous difficulties I encountered.

Even now, I remember the exact moment I opened the response letter from the first publisher I contacted.

A stab in the back would have hurt less. Just a couple of lines of rejection and a suggestion.

Nothing more.

Now, over 30 years from that moment, I’m an internationally recognized thriller author and write full-time.

I look back and realize it was tough, and that’s why I decided to write a book to help aspiring thriller writers like you.

I know you’re scared. You’re afraid that your dream will turn into regret over the years, you’re afraid to start writing and not reach the end.

You think about it often, the plot is in your mind, you dream of the book cover with your name on it. You see the reader getting excited, eagerly turning every page, sucked into the story.

But you’re here and reading these lines. It means you’re seriously determined to embark on this journey that will transform you into a true thriller book author

I can tell you that to compete in the Action/Thriller genre, you’re going to need all the ammo you can grab.

Not to worry. You’re in good hands.

Writing is my life, but I also love teaching and I blended both my passion in my last book “So, you wanna write a novel”

So you wanna be a writer - cover
In this guide, I’ll accompany you on the writer’s journey by sharing the tools and techniques I developed in 30 years of experience.
I’ll show you the method I invented to structure your book. You’ll save so much time, tears and pain
You’ll learn how to avoid the mistakes EVERYONE makes when looking for a publisher. (One of these can seriously compromise your career)
How to survive in an over-inflated market where there are more books than readers

But not only that, I’ll help you get a grasp on some of the golden rules of creative writing, the things that matter!

"The guidance provided is genuine and incorporates the author's personal experiences such as collecting phrases overheard for inspiration.

Mini-lessons are also provided that help writers avoid common mistakes.

So, You Wanna Write a Novel helps new and inexperienced writers take the first steps in a guide that teaches structure, grammar, and so much more"

This book is enough to make you a full-time writer if you really have the determination.

I know you can do it and I can help you get there; I want you to feel the enthusiasm to write every day.

I want you to feel the accomplishment I felt when you hold your printed book for the first time.

I want you to feel the same joy I felt when I read my first 5-star review of my book “Eagle Shield”.
