Nine Ways: Writing Masterful Fiction and Memoir propels authors into the heart of their creative process.

In her Nine Ways approach, Christine provides a Master Class Juggling framework of nine essential story elements. Looking through her shared lens using her illustrated Mindmap, writers are invited to evaluate their work from nine perspectives.: Gatekeepers and Story Seeds, Voice, Style and Point of View; Whole Body Characters; Presence of Place; Tension & Plot; Time & Consciousness; Love & Other Emotions; Image and the Senses, Theme & Gestalt.

Craft discussions in each of these nine elements with examples from masterful authors put the writing mind in play. Nine Ways stimulates imaginative thinking and hones masterful skills. Wherever you are in your writing practice, this book will help you fulfill your intentions, transform your stories, and continue to elevate your practice and career.
