Great Stories aren't written by accident.
And each begins as a work-in-progress.
Why do some stories grab you on page one while others fall flat?
There's a method behind it.
In this course, I'll show you the mechanics that transform your
opening pages into stories readers will remember––and rate five stars.
Most writers don’t struggle because they lack talent.
They struggle because no one ever showed them a clear,
repeatable process—how to move from a messy first draft
to a story that works. Not faster. Not magically.
But deliberately, with craft, structure, and intention.
My Story
I didn’t start writing fiction until later in life—at fifty-eight I found my passion.
What followed was five long years of spinning through writing courses, guru advice, and conflicting rules, trying to figure out why my stories weren’t connecting. My first book didn’t sell for five years. Yes—five. During that time, I spent thousands of dollars searching for the missing pieces that would help my writing resonate with readers and earn those elusive five-star reviews.
Eventually, the patterns clicked. I learned how stories are actually built, not just inspired. When new writers began asking how to mirror my success, I realized there was no single place to send them—so I created one.
I stepped away from writing for six months to develop this mini-course, distilling years of trial, error, and hard-won insight into a clear, practical system. What took me years to learn, you can now learn in about six hours.
Writing mysteries is my passion—but helping other writers succeed is a close second.
Storytelling Is a Craft You Can Learn
Talent is the spark that drives every writer, but spark alone doesn't make a story resonate.
A great story isn't accidental––it's built.
