More About the Author

Shaun Roundy's cv reads like a character from an action-adventure movie. Alongside writing half a dozen books in various styles, he has taught writing to thousands of university students, climbed 18,000' mountains, sailed 2,500 miles through two oceans, speaks half a dozen languages, lived on four continents and a tropical island, saved dozens of lives as a member of an active volunteer Search and Rescue team, chaired the Mountain Rescue Association's Intermountain Region, appeared in the Discovery Channel's "Raging Planet - Blizzards" and KUED's award-winning "Secrets of the Lost Canyon", along with many appearances on the evening news. The list goes on and on.

As a writer, he seeks primarily to entertain and inspire. "The best thing about writing is hearing that my readers stayed up all night reading because they couldn't stop, or laughed or shouted out loud, or that the plot caught them totally by surprise, or that they related to some character or insight that changed their life."

Most Helpful Customer Reviews
Format:Paperback
I am a Professor of Accounting and have written a number of research papers, published in professional journals like the "Journal of Accountancy" and I have also published a financial article in the "Ensign." I consider myself a good writer and people who have read my work confirm my opinion. But I looked around trying to find a good book to pick up some pointers that would make me better. I accidently found Mr. Shawn Roundy's book and I have been delighted by the outcome. Basically, I don't have much time to dither around. That's why I love Roundy's book. I have been able to pick and choose from the book and the results have dramatically improved my writing. I especially have found chapters 18-32 to be very helpful to me.

I hope that you find the book as helpful as I have.
