To celebrate the publication of Johnny Mackintosh: Battle for Earth,
tall tales & short stories welcomes author and guest blogger, Keith Mansfield, to the blog.
People in London are being taken away in unmarked police vans, never to be seen again...
While trying to keep up with his school studies and ensuring his football team stays top of the league, it's Johnny's job to safeguard planet Earth.
Suspicious of the strange occurrences, Johnny investigates to find that alien enemies are feeding humans to their Queen on a nearby planet.
He then discovers a more terrifying secret:
the aliens are planning a devastating invasion of Earth.
The battle for Earth will take all of Johnny's and his friends' strength and resolve.
Can they win?
If they do, what price will they pay to save the world?

Keith Mansfield is the author of the hugely popular
Johnny Mackintosh sci-fi series and in his guest post he explains the three-act structure and how to tell a story in just 60 seconds.
STORYTELLING in 60 SECONDS
Towards the end of my time at university I paid a visit to the Careers Service and took a test to see what jobs I should apply for after I graduated. Despite having studied maths and physics, the computer spewed out a sheet of paper that listed my ideal future occupation as:
1) Advertising planner
2) Advertising copywriter
3) Publisher
I was vaguely aware that advertising copywriters were the people who penned such great lines as “For mash get Smash” or “It’s not easy being a dolphin”. I soon found out a planner’s job was equally or even more interesting, devising the entire campaign strategy. I was pretty sure I knew what a publisher did but it sounded a little less glamorous so, liking the sound of the first two roles, I started applying to advertising agencies. I was instantly rewarded with interviews at all the best ones, but it turned out that, although I could write brilliant applications I was the world’s most rubbish interviewee.
During this time I applied for just one publishing job (at Robert Maxwell’s Pergamon Press) and was offered it, so my career in advertising never began. In the late 1980s, it was probably the most creative indust
Spring is finally here and to celebrate, Writers on the Move is having an April writers/authors' Tour.
We have very talented writers and authors who collectively, have tons of writing and marketing experience and information to share.

The April Feature article is:“What’s So Funny ‘Bout Fiction” by Maggie Ball
As usual, we strive to provide more value packed informational content so you can not only learn about the authors’ books and services, but also pick up tips and advice on writing, ghostwriting, marketing, and more.
So, look over the schedule below. Each day in April a different author and information will be presented. Just follow the schedule and click on the corresponding day.

It's pretty amazing to me, after all these years, to get out of California and go on a book tour. I have signed books in other states, usually because I'm there for a conference or some school visits, but this is the very first organized tour I've gone on. Workman Publishing was also a publisher I wanted to work with for thirty years, so it's perfect that they are the ones who sent me out. Some things are worth waiting for! On to Arizona tomorrow, but I have to say, The Tattered Cover is one amazing book store and I've already been spoiled on my first day. More to come!
WE’RE BACK! After a nice long two month hiatus we’re ready for action in 2011.
As always, we have a great tour planned with writers and authors who collectively, have tons of writing and marketing experience and information to share.
We’ll be trying to provide more value packed informational content so you can not only learn about the authors books and services, but also pick up tips and advice on writing, ghostwriting, marketing, and more.
So, look over the schedule below. Each day in February a different author and information will be presented. Just follow the schedule and click on the corresponding day.

Very interesting analysis. I read screenwriting books even though I'm working on a novel. I think there is so much we can learn from films that can add to the excitement and tension in our writing.
I'm not saying we should make books into mini-movies, but there are certainly elements we can borrow. When I'm writing I'll think of it visually and apply those scenes to a film like structure. When people tell me about a book saying how it read like a film, or they could see it being made into a blockbuster I know what the writer applied the same techniques.
The Johnny Macintosh books sound fantastic and I'll certainly be recommending them to my daughter to read.
Thanks again Tracy.
Glad you enjoyed the post, Anthony.
I think I write in a very visual, cinematic way and as I write it certainly plays out in my head as a film but that probably also has something to do with my years of working in the film industry.
Enjoy the books!
brilliant post!
I was nodding all the way through this post like a tacky dog in the back of a 1970s car! I spent the late 80s and 90s working as a planner in ad agencies in London and have only just realised how much of what I learned then has filtered through to my writing.
Thanks to both!
Thanks Candy and Sue
Glad you both enjoyed Keith's post.
