Coming Soon to a Starworld Near You - Indy Published Author Charles F. Millhouse

In Memory Alone: Book One of Talon's Epic

I think it's wonderful that we can share information with each other.

I've been thinking about my writing process.

When I first got back to writing in 2009 little did I know the type of expansive universe I allowed myself to step into. 

Along the way I've discovered some guides I'd like to share, books that helped nurture this fledgeling experience. 

I believe we learn to write by reading those that go before us, then by interweaving what we've sipped in with what our heart tells us belongs on the page. 

Here's a list of some of my favorite writing titles in my library.
