Want to learn how to write your novel so that it flows into a riveting screenplay-style plot? Come to J. M. Taylor's presentation at the St Petersburg Main Library on September 6, 2003 for a how-to workshop on writing action/adventure novels, with a focus on plotting techniques.

Characters, setting and style are all important, but Taylor will focus this workshop on plotting techniques that will keep your characters and settings organized for a non-stop action plot. Taylor has applied these techniques to his completed novels, Behind the Green Water and A Flash of Emerald, that led to reviews such as the following by Midwest Book Review:

"J. M. Taylor's A Flash Of Emerald is a gripping action/adventure novel of Harry Stoner, a military man who has come home to a personal battle in the dark underside of Tampa's Ybor City and the Florida Keys. International arms dealers and murderous terrorists jockey for possession of a stolen nuclear weapon in this suspense-filled story that simply cannot be put down from first page to last. Attention Hollywood, Flash Of Emerald is the stuff of which great action/adventure movies are made!"

This presentation is one of a series presented by the St Petersburg Library. Join Taylor 2:00 p.m., Saturday, September 6, 2003, at the St Petersburg Main Library, 280 5th Street North, St. Petersburg, FL 33701, or call for more information at 727-893-7318.
