"Wonderful writer's tool. I could not believe the amount of scenes Jessica managed to create with such flair and intensity. The tone of each was so very different. I have never seen such obvious yet beautiful examples of showing. As an editor, I look forward to recommending this book to my authors. It has the ability to broaden a writer's horizon, not just in showing, but in the tone and temper used." Amie McCracken, editor, designer & author

"A must-have for every writer. Writers are frequently instructed to 'show, not tell', but before we can follow that advice, we first have to understand it. Bell's brilliant nuts-and-bolts examples provide just what every writer needs to not only understand the concept, but to implement it. Know why? She doesn't just tell us about this concept she shows us. Kinda fitting, dontcha think?" Susan Flett Swiderski, author of Hot Flashes & Cold Lemonade

"I found lots of helpful writing tips and examples in this book. I'd recommend it to all new writers, especially students trying to hone their fiction writing skills." A. K. Borenstadt, writer
