Layers of Thought: Each of the books above has received great reviews on Amazon. You will receive the first in the series when you purchase the software program. Note, I did find the first two of the books available at our public library.
Having started the book The Marshall Plan® for Novel Writing, and taken a look at the program, a first thought is that the book is accessible and clear. I had one technical difficulty with the program, but did receive a solution back from the author - Evan Marshall - within 24 hours.

Stay tuned for an article on “writing for pleasure” by the authors which is a key component of their program; also a book preview and giveaway for one of Evan Marshall’s mystery novels - City in Shadow.
The software and book were sent to Layers of Thought for review from FSB Associates. Thank you Anna!
Have a wonderful day!
