"Quality fiction writing stems from a solid understanding of what works, and what doesn't.

Carl Lakeland, Author of the multi award winning Eagle Shield, Project Amber and The Lost Ones, in the MILESTONE series brings you his spin and style on the concept of writing to thrill.

""I'll take you on a journey from the conceptual stages or your creative imagination, right through to helping you become traditionally published or self-published. We'll explore all the options. We'll leave nothing out and we'll expose the rules, when to bend them a little, and even when it might be the right time to break them for creative effect.

""If writing a novel is your goal, why not ramp things up with a killer thriller?"""

"Carl Lakeland lives with his wife in the sleepy town of Snake Valley, 36 kilometers southwest of Ballarat in Australia. Lakeland grew up during the early seventies western suburbs of Sydney. Having enlisted into the military at the age of seventeen, he draws on his experience to create powerful and engaging speculative fiction. ""Sometimes, I can't let things be,"" says Lakeland. ""I write stories with a passion that others might see as being obsessive. I live and breathe it. I dream it when I sleep. But I never write down my dreams. If I can't remember those things I've dreamt, they're not important enough."" Carl Lakeland's stories revolve around the element of 'what if?' He pushes the boundaries of his stories to the edge of the Official Secrets Act, which will have the reader wondering about the aspect of creative license, or the possibility of fact in his writing. Either way, the reader will be left to make up their own mind. His books are fast paced, edge of your seat thrillers which are distinctively written in a way that will have the reader guessing which way the story is about to head. ""As a writer, unpredictability is the key essence. If I write something that can be foreseen in coming chapters, it's not good enough. I will scrap it. My goal is to keep the reader wondering, even sometimes to the detriment of my good guys!"""
