The Extreme Novelist: The No-Time-to-Write Method… de Kathryn M. Johnson
A good primer on setting time to write, putting your story down on paper (literally or otherwise), and not getting too caught up with stylistic niceties. Write your book in eight weeks. Cleaning up the prose and filling in holes are for the second draft/editing process. Provides plenty of motivation and ideas to assist with sitting in a chair and producing a fist draft of a novel.
An enjoyable read if an unlikely historical novel. What are the odds that William Shakespeare would travel to the American colony of Jamestown in order to escape a vengeful fellow playwright? However, the pairing of Shakespeare's The Tempest with a fictionalized account of a shipwreck in the Bermudas was engaging.
I was somewhat bored with the love story--it seems like nearly every book I've read recently features a woman who is too emotionally scarred or froward to be in a relationship and a strong, silent type who manages to coax her out of her shell.

An interesting "what if" take on Shakespeare's inspiration for writing 'The Tempest,' this book imagines a voyage from England to America gone wrong and the story that unfolds as the crew and passengers are marooned on an unknown island....with the Bard himself travelling among them -- incognito, of course. while I generally prefer my historical reading to have a strong basis in fact, this clearly fictitious story was enjoyable, though not gripping.
An easy read that takes us on a sea voyage to the new colonies of Virginia. A tempest at sea puts the damaged ship and its contents on the Bermudas. love blooms, and the play, "The Tempest" is created by the ship's historian - really Shakespeare. the research made the reading fairly interesting.
