Summary:
"
Paranormal
novels (those with ghosts, telepaths, vampires, werewolves, fairies, witches and more) for adult and young-adult readers continue to top bestseller lists, but, until now, no resource exists to help writers craft these stories. This book shows how to successfully introduce supernatural and
paranormal
elements into your stories, create engaging and relatable characters and craft plots where even the most unusual twists are not only possible, they are believable"--Publisher's description.
