***NEWSFLASH***

I'm going to have a bonus course this month, starting on July 25th (see calendar for upcoming courses) since the idea struck and wouldn't leave about adding action and suspense to your books.

I'll be using examples from THE ELIXIR and the movie NATIONAL TREASURE.

In addition, I'll be asking you to analyze scenes from a movie of your choice.

I highly recommend that you rent the movie and buy or check out from the library the book before the course begins so that you can follow along. It isn't required by any means and you'll still get good information from the course, but you'll get a lot more in depth understanding and discussion with the examples I'll be using.

You should be able to rent NATIONAL TREASURE from your video store. You can purchase THE ELIXIR at: http://www.amberquill.com/Elixir.html
