Selecting a character's profession is an important part of this process. The profession implies a lot about the character and spares the reader a lot of pace-hindering narrative. A character's profession may be the catalyst for the story's plot. It allows the writer to texture the story with interesting insider details of the character's daily life. Also, a story's theme is often directly related to the protagonist's profession. This book makes it easier than ever by providing detailed descriptions for the 99 most written-about professions--everything from ad executives to waiters. Each entry consists of a written description and a breakdown of the fine details, including education, salary, jargon, hazards, rewards and a typical daily schedule. Packed with informative sidebars and call-outs, this reader-friendly, interactive reference enables writers of any skill level to create characters whose professional lives resonate with realistic details and insider insights.--Adapted from book cover and introduction.

Crossing the lines / by Gentill, Sulari,author.(CARDINAL)347316;
A successful writer, Madeleine, creates a character, Edward, and begins to imagine his life. He, too, is an author. Edward is in love with a woman, Willow, who's married to a man Edward loathes, and who loathes him, but he and Willow stay close friends. She's an artist. As Madeleine develops the plot, Edward attends a gallery show where a scummy critic is flung down a flight of fire stairs...murdered. Madeleine, still stressed from her miscarriages and grieving her inability to have a child, grows more and more enamored of Edward, spending more and more time with him and the progress of the investigation and less with her physician husband, Hugh, who in turn may be developing secrets of his own. As Madeline engages more with Edward, he begins to engage back. A crisis comes when Madeleine chooses the killer in Edward's story and Hugh begins to question her immersion in her novel.
