Chad Elliot asked Steven James:

I love your two books on writing and tell everyone I can that Story Trumps Structure is the best book on writing anywhere! You said here that your thesis was: “Fictionalizing Truth: Crafting Personal Experience Stories." I'm a big fan of applying the concepts of fiction to true personal stories and would love to read that. Is it possible to download a copy somewhere?

Steven James Chad,

Thanks so much for asking! It's been more than 20 years since anyone asked to look at that thesis and probably just as long since I cracked it open to look at it. It's in the archives at East Tennessee State University. Perhaps an inter-library loan would be able to get it to you. I don't think there's anywhere online to download it from, though.

Thanks for your interest and best of luck with your writing projects!

Yours truly,
Steven James

I won a copy of Fury and have not received it yet. I accidentally clicked on the 'I have received my copy' button but I have not yet. The entries closed on April 28 and it is currently May 28. I was wondering how many days would it take for me to receive mine in the mail? Thank you.

Charlene asked Steven James:

Hi Steven, Last year I started reading your Patrick bowers Files series in order with a friend. Due to having a visual impairment I mainly read the audio version. I’m sure it was available at the beginning of 2021 but by the end 2021 I cannot seem to find an audio version of “The King”. I would love to finish this series is there anyway I can get a copy of an audio version? I am more than happy to pay.
