In a very beautifully composed and thought out introduction Tom Corson-Knowles explains his passion for writing and then invites us to move into that circle by learning to fall in love with writing. The main driver for this edifying book is writing nonfiction - a path that has led our writer to great success, a path he more than successfully shares in the brief pages of this book. He poses the philosophy of asking `What problem do I want to solve for people?'Once he has our attention he delves into the process that is specific to writing for Kindle as opposed to the `old-fashioned style' of writing to present to agents and publishers, etc. As he describes the process he assures us that the only true obstacles we will have are those we impose on ourselves - our internal resistance to give in to the process of writing when the process is ours alone. Or to quote him, `the key is to work harder on yourself than you do on your job.'From there on the book is very straight forward in outlining the rules about writing for Kindle - brevity, action steps to aid your reader and save them time to reach the goal you are proposing to solve.  He offers 5 areas where you have the potential to write a bestselling book: passion, knowledge, expertise or skill, experience and market research. His chapters are so user friendly you will wonder why this knowledge didn't come to you simply out of the blue - choosing your topic, capturing ideas, mastering the writing process, writing tips and trick (very insightful section), `overcoming the 7 deadly writing obstacles' and on and on.  Well, the `blue' is Tom Corson-Knowles!He leaves us with invitations to connect with him for further advice and motivation and how to make use of the information that is at our fingertips - only we just don't know how to use it.  He even encourages readers to consider publishing with his firm - the icing on the cake.  This is one of those resources that is easy to read and to follow, yet despite the facility of it all, it is a very solid resource that once read it will always be your Bible for Kindle writing.
