Conflict is essential to story - regardless of genre. The friction between what a character wants and the lengths they will go to reach that goal is what pulls readers through your book. Great conflict is what leaves readers cheering (or crying) at the end of a story. Using humour and her deep knowledge of human behaviour, counsellor and award-winning author Eileen Cook will guide you through the causes of conflict, the differences between internal and external conflict, and show you how conflict resolution techniques can be turned upside down to ramp up the tension in your book.

Seventeen-year-old Jamie should have known from the beginning something was wrong with the Right and the real Church, but she was too caught up in her feelings for Josh - a handsome jock, and the son of a church elder - to care. She’s never had the most stable life, what with a drug-addicted mother and a recovering-alcoholic father, but her relationship with Josh may have driven her life completely off the rails. Her father is now a full-blown member of the church, and for refusing to join, Jamie’s been kicked out onto the streets. She’s even lost Josh - well sort of.
