''"Exploiting werewolf law in a life or death situation against opponents with everything to gain." He chuckled and offered his hand, "I?m in."''

A website showcasing the work of an amateur New Zealand writer, attempting to learn by doing.

There are two Novels on the website at the moment; serialising daily, plus a Twitterbook also serialising daily.

* [http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/becoming-a-better-writer/the-wolfs-will/ The Wolf's Will:] A newspaper editor attempts to exploit werewolf law for profit; he knows what he's letting himself in for, his travelling companions really don't.
* [http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/becoming-a-better-writer/demonic-symphony/ Demonic Symphony:] Two underprepared Demon Hunters find themselves way in over their heads; many ugly cars are wrecked.
* [http://twitter.com/Ulysses_Perhero The ongoing adventures of Ulysses Perhero:] A casual Twitterbook about a [[Heroic Sociopath]]

It's possible to see the quality of the writing improve not only between books but actually within the books themselves.

* [[Emotions vs. Stoicism]] - [[Word of God]] has it that this was originally meant to be the point of [[Becoming a Better Writer|The Wolf's Will]]; unfortunately they lose their stoic after the first chapter
** And find a better stoic
* [[Granola Girl]] - Christine has [http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/demonic-symphony-scene-072/ touches of this.]
* [[Our Demons Are Different]] - In Demonic Symphony, the demons are the embodiments of emotional energy projected on the world.
** In theory, this means that there should be demons for other strong emotions such as love, but this isn't really touched on during the book.
* [[NaNoWriMo]] - [http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/becoming-a-better-writer/the-wolfs-will/ The Wolf's Will] was written as part of this
* [[Significant Anagram]] - [http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/the-wolfs-will-scene-009/ Mr. Ian Woon] is an anagram of [[NaNoWriMo]], this also counts as a [[Shout Out]]

* [[Stephen Ulysses Perhero]] - Naturally, Ulysses Perhero.
* [[The Stoic]] - Greg has his moments of stoicism, but he has absolutely nothing on Free Flower, or on Beatrice from Demonic Symphony.

* [[The Stoner]] - Mr. Ian Woon again; [http://becomingabetterwriter.wordpress.com/2009/04/15/the-wolfs-will-scene-009/ a flying surfboard riding hippy.]
