Books By Steve Jackson $10.28 Purchase includes free access to book updates online and a free trial membership in the publisher’s book club where you can select from more than a million books without charge. Excerpt: The Warlock of Firetop Mountain is a single-player roleplaying gamebook written by Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone, illustrated by Russ Nicholson and originally published in 1982 by Puffin Books. It was later republished by Wizard Books in 2002. It forms part of Steve Jackson and Ian Livingstone’s Fighting Fantasy series. It is the first in the series in both the Puffin (ISBN 0-14-031538-1) and Wizard (ISBN 1-84046-387-2) series. The book was first conceived in 1980, when the authors Jackson and Livingstone met Geraldine Cooke, a Penguin editor, at Games Workshop’s annual Games Day. Initially Cooke was interested in publishing a ‘how-to-do-it’ book on fantasy role-playing games but Jackson and Livingstone became less inclined to write a technical manual. Instead they fused basic role-playing rules and fantasy adventure plots to come up with the gamebook concept. The pair began work on the project in August 1981 and it took six months for them to write the book. Penguin did not know what to make of the manuscript and it was not until over a year later that the decision to publish was finally made. The book did, however, require a second draft as each author had written half of the adventure each (Livingstone wrote the first half, up to the river crossing, which made a convenient hand-over point, and Jackson wrote the climax of the adventure), and the writing style noticeably changed part way through the book – so Jackson re-wrote Livingstone’s part of the book in his own style. There was also some internal debate as to whether the book should be published as a Penguin Book or a Puffin Book, with the book eventually appearing in Penguin’s Puffin imprint. In August 1982 the first Fighting Fantasy Gamebook, titled The Warlock of Firetop Mounta… More: |

The Craft of Grammar: Integrated Instruction in Writer’s Workshop [With CDROM and Workshop Guide] $195 Teachers are urged to integrate grammar instruction with lessons on writer’s craft, but what does that look like in real classrooms with real kids’In The Craft of Grammar, Jeff Anderson shows how he brings grammar and craft together meaningfully for student writers. Jeff and his sixth-grade students move easily from analyzing sentences to freewrites in writer’s notebooks to “express-lane edits” of their writing in daily workshops. The lessons, individual conferences, and small-group activities on the video demonstrate how to use high-quality children’s and young adult literature as mentor texts and as an alternative to “Daily Oral Language.” This sixty-minute DVD includes examples of:developing whole-class lessons focused on short mentor text;linking the writer’s notebook to grammar instruction;assisting students in individual conferences as they test new writing strategies and analyze text;scaffolding learning through guided practice and small-group work;creating mnemonic devices to help students retain key rules;celebrating student success and tactfully correcting errors.Jeff presents simple and imaginative tools and memory devices—from the whoop of the AAAWWUBIS to the clever and catchy FANBOYS—that help students see the value of grammar and mechanics in crafting powerful writing and retain that knowledge.Filmed in his diverse, Title I classroom in San Antonio, Texas, and featuring Jeff’s unique brand of energy, passion, and self-deprecating humor, The Craft of Grammar helps teachers of intermediate and adolescent writers find new and engaging ways to connect the writing processwith grammar and mechanics. |

Write Is a Verb: Sit Down & Start Writing. No Excuses. $0.99 Do You Need a Kick in the Pants? You’ve heard all the rules to get yourself to write—work on a schedule, write in a particular place, always write a certain number of words, and so on … all rules based on things that have worked for other writers. But what works for you? What will get your book written? Psychotherapist and writing coach Bill O’Hanlon provides no rules—just principles and methods that you can personalize to your own style and preferences. You’ll learn that you don’t have to be a natural writer or a good writer to write; you just have to write—and find out what uniquely motivates you to write. By combining his experience as a therapist and his own prolific career as an author, Bill shows you how to manage overwhelming projects, while finding the passion to finish what you start. Plus, a DVD featuring an hour-long workshop showcases the best bits of Bill’s weeklong bootcamp for writers, so you can fully experience the charisma behind the principles. It’s the literary equivalent of Prozac, cattle prods, M&Ms, and whatever else you need to get moving, get writing, and get it done. |
