Topic: Another Review for The Kurdish Connection (10 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
I just found another review for The Kurdish Connection, which was workshopped on TNBW. I've only had nine reviews since the book was released in early February, but all are five star! Here's the latest one:
A non-stop thriller may seem like an overdone phrase, but that is what Mr. Krzak has created in this book. Hard to believe that it's his debut novel.
The characters are so real that you feel affection - or fear, as the different groups look for or try to hide a deadly cache of Sarin gas cannisters left over from Sadam Hussein.
Krzak keeps you turning pages as you follow the different characters as they wend their way through the exciting plot. The proverbial "clock is ticking" as you watch the drama unfold. You find yourself saying, "no don't do that, do this," because the author has given you enough information to be a couple of steps in front of the protagonists.
The "Bedlam Alpha" team was a brilliant move on the author's part. It consists of butt kicking characters readily believable by a fan of thriller novels. The author has a fine ear for language, such as his Canadian character's often ending a sentence with the familiar Canuck, "eh."
It was easy to give this excellent novel a five star rating. I look forward to his next book.
Many thanks to all TNBW members who helped to make my novel a reality!

Many thanks, Corra!
The first two chapters are posted on TNBW but it'll be awhile before I post any more as I need to concentrate on Dangerous Alliance.

Re: Free online writing course (2 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Hi,
I wanted to share this creative writing course on Coursera - Creative Writing Specialisation. It covers the basics of writing like crafting characters, plots, settings, & etc. in a very brief & engaging way.
You have the option to pay and receive a certificate at the end, but you can also just audit the classes for free, which means you can download the videos onto your phone/stream on your computer and watch whenever you want (very useful while on trains/planes).
I found it really helpful, maybe others will too.
Many thanks for sharing, Suin!

The site already has a section under Help for reviewing work and providing feedback, so it would probably be easy to add Suin's suggestions.

Re: Fishing for points (17 replies, posted in TheNextBigWriter Premium)
Gacela,
The same person left the following on ch17 of Dangerous Alliance: I know I have only started reading this story from Chapter 17, but I really got into this, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It had me on the edge of my seat and if it had been a book, it is what would be known as a real page turner. I am going to start reading the rest soon.
I did read/review the first chapter of his posted work and he thanked me and said my remarks were very constructive, but there's been nothing further from him since. Regards, Randy
