R.J. Parker – The Dinner Party
When you first decide you want to be a writer one phrase/statement is always mentioned. And that in this day and age of quick news, fast-reading and instant stories on mobile devices it is now more relevant than ever. It is. Make your opening paragraph stand out, sell your book in that one small section of literature and you hook a reader.

Shawn Michaels – Heartbreak & Triumph
There are a few professional wrestlers who you could say are pretty much homegrown. By That I mean they may have trained briefly elsewhere, got a name for themselves, but their rise, fame and legacy will predominantly be know by their association with one company/organisation. Shawn Michaels is one such grappler (others would be Hulk Hogan in the WWE/WWF and Ric Flair WCW/NWA).
