Architecture of a Page-Turner

Stephen King read J.D. Barker's debut novel and was impressed enough to grant him the use of one of his most iconic characters. When James Patterson first read J.D. Barker, he immediately brought him in as a co-author. Bram Stoker's family asked him to write the official prequel to Dracula using Bram's original notes and journals. His books can be found in more than 150 countries and two dozen languages. Eight of his novels have been optioned for film or television. What's all the fuss about? J.D. Barker knows how to craft one hell of a pageturner! Don't miss this unprecedented peek behind the curtain—he'll take you through his writing process and give you the tools you need to take your writing to the next level.
