❖Three Story Method. Written by J. Thorn with Zach Bohannon.
The introduction of Three Story Method poses the great question that all fiction writers ask themselves at some point in their careers: "How do you turn an idea into a novel?" The authors are forthright when they state that there is no magic formula; however, the solution provided is far superior. Three Story Method is a process for creative development based on the most effective storytelling methodologies in history going back to the principles of Aristotle. J. Thorn holds is a full-time author, a part-time professor at John Carroll University, a co-owner of Molten Universe Media, as well as a podcaster, FM radio DJ, and musician.
