Do you remember advanced Atlantis - an island continent, ruled by magicians, and destroyed by nature some 25,000 years ago? Could you be one of the Atlanteans?

"The Atlanteans" opens in America, spirals back to an advanced Atlantis at its demise, and then returns to America where events and characters from these two civilizations come together.

Teddy Townsend, a lawyer, and Ryan Stuart, a prominent neurosurgeon, are best friends in their mid-thirties. Their lifelong friendship began at Harvard, but has its roots in their ancient past, which they are soon to learn more about.

As the story opens, Teddy and Ryan enter Teddy's 52-foot racing yacht in the Miami-Nassau Regatta. A storm overtakes them, and one of the ancient Atlantean magicians, Polaris, appears.

Polaris gives them a prophetic warning, and takes Teddy and Ryan back in time to show them who they were, and the truth of what happened the last few weeks of Atlantis' existence.

When their weatherworn yacht returns to Miami, they wonder why they experienced all this. During their flight home they see pictured on the front page of the Miami newspaper the Atlantean magician, Merak, responsible for the demise of Atlantis. He is walking up the steps of the White House with the President.

Can Teddy Townsend and Ryan Stuart stop Merak before another enchanted land, America, suffers the same fate as Atlantis, and is lost forevermore?

MICHAEL CRICHTON'S method for plotting out a story revealed.

MASTER HOLLYWOOD screenwriting instructor, Lajos Egri's, methods for developing memorable characters and much more.

"You need to formulate a premise and start your story at a crisis, which will be the turning point in your main character's life."

Author, screenwriter and creative writing instructor, Dorothy Cora Moore, has written a book for those of us who have a great story to tell . . . but it is, as yet, still hidden deep in our minds. She will show you a simple method of getting that story out of your head and onto the page.

"Writing Made Easy" will get you started in a big way.

Clearly and concisely, the author gives us the secret of her step-by-step layering of a story. You will never again wonder where to begin, feel overwhelmed, or think about what should come next. It will be like having a trusted friend sitting beside you helping all the way.

Chapter 1 is where most of us fail. If an agent, publisher and/or reviewer are not grabbed right from the beginning when reading Chapter 1, our manuscript will sadly be thrown in the "dead Pile." Yikes

Dorothy's seven distinct steps for this crucial chapter are: (1) Setting the Scene; (2) Introducing the Protagonist; (3) Setting the Mood; (4) Introducing Important Secondary Characters; (5) Introducing the Antagonist; (6) Introducing the Pivotal Character; and (7) Setting Up a Crisis.

Are you ready to get started? I hope so, for a captivating and mystical door has now been opened just for you
