Writing Workshop: DNA of a Novel, With exercise & handouts.

Saturday, June 19, 2 pm: Using the most basic elements, Flagstaff author Shannon Baker, author of ASHES OF THE RED HEIFER, will show you how to craft a novel that readers won’t want to put down. Sagging middles are as bad for books as for beauty and Shannon will show how to keep the plot as lean as Michael Phelps without the munchies. Bring a scene from your current work in progress or we can make up something as a group.

The biggest obstacle for many new writers, is making the leap from story premise to the actual writing. Nothing has stalled as many books as this challenge. Shannon will also share you how to begin with your story's basic bare bones, and to make your story come alive, by building scene upon scene.

ASHES OF THE RED HEIFER features an ancient prophecy. A terrible secret. A deadly conspiracy. Annie Grant, a strong-willed veterinarian is in Israel, just days from finding a cure for a deadly bovine disease threatening to cross into the human population with deadly affects. She can save millions of human lives and her professional success might help heal the rupture with her family when she walked away from the Nebraska ranch she loves. When her research is disrupted by a bomb, she and her lover are kidnapped by a fanatical Jewish group intent on forcing God's hand. Is Annie the chosen of God, destined to fulfill ancient Hebrew prophecy? Using her best friend as hostage, the group forces Annie to find the cure and engineer the birth of a perfect red heifer in Israel, making it possible for Jews to again find God's favor. Battling time and trapped in the bloody crossfire between rabid Zionists fighting to recapture Israel's glory, militant Muslims intent on stopping them and Christians anticipating rapture, Annie must choose. Her own life. Or an apocalyptic war. The future of the world. Or the ashes of the red heifer.

Shannon Baker has a right brain/left brain conflict. While the left brain focuses on her career as an accountant, her right brain concocts thrillers, including her 2010 release, ASHES OF THE RED HEIFER. A lover of mountains, plains, oceans and rivers, she can often be found traipsing around the great outdoors. Living for twenty years in the Nebraska Sandhills, where cattle outnumber people by more than 50:1, inspired the setting for this novel. After escaping from the wilds of Nebraska, she spent a few terrific years living on Colorado’s Front Range. Her next book, another thriller, is set in her new home of Flagstaff, AZ and involves man made snow on sacred peaks, uranium mining in the Grand Canyon, kachinas, murder, and a woman determined to make some sense of it all.
