Porcelain Prompts: Creating Characters (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781947269040)

At the age of 11, Thomas A. Fowler saw Jurassic Park. It was all nerdy from there. Especially when he stuck around for the end credits and saw "Based on the novel by Michael Crichton." He went straight from the movie theater, walked down the mall to a Walden Books. Since then, he's written movies, plays, short-stories and books. While he sticks primarily to science-fiction, he dabbles elsewhere. He holds an MBA in Marketing from Regis University and was a former Content Creator at a full-service ad agency in Denver, Colorado. Now, he devotes that skill set to a freelance career and to helping authors live their dream of getting published. Somewhere, between writing and advertising, he tries to be a loving husband and responsible father. He is the Marketing Director at Spine Press + Post, which provides complete marketing & publishing services for authors and publishers. Melissa Koons has always had a passion for books and creative writing. It may have started with Berenstain Bears by Stan and Jan Berenstain, but it didn't take long for authors like Lucy Culliford Babbit, Tolkien, and Robert Jordan to follow. From a young age she knew she wanted to share her love for stories with the world. She has written and published one novel, multiple short stories, and poetry. She has a BA in English and Secondary Education from the University of Northern Colorado. A former middle and high school English teacher, she now devotes her career to publishing, editing, writing, and tutoring hoping to inspire and help writers everywhere achieve their goals as Publishing Director of Spine Press + Post. When she's not working, she's taking care of her two turtles and catching up on the latest comic book franchise.
