Dynamic Characters
By Nancy Kress
This book is very clearly and concisely written with 'oodles' of pertinent information for either the beginning writer or the seasoned writer wishing to sharpen their skills. Her excellent use of specific examples is of primary note. She provides a foundation and balances it with straight forward illustration and checklists.

Writing Fiction Step by Step
By Josip Novakovich.
This clearly written book truly is a step by step approach to hone your writing skills. What this book also does, is actually help you 'build' well textured short stories (or even a novel) by combining some of the exercises to develop a whole. You learn by doing, which is the only way in writing, but you are being guided by Novakovich's capable instructions.
