Yucaipa is a mature, well-established community nestled in the foothills of the San Bernardino Mountains. Residents enjoy cleaner air and cooler temperatures as a result of the higher elevations, and a comprehensive approach to community safety has produced one of the lowest rates of crime for comparably sized cities anywhere in the State. The City contains 10 City Parks, including an equestrian arena and a municipal pool, as well as a 200-acre regional park with 3 lakes for swimming, boating, and fishing, plus campgrounds and playgrounds for the entire family. The Yucaipa-Calimesa School District has an outstanding reputation, and it ranks at or near the top in every category of educational achievement. In addition, Crafton Hills College offers day and evening programs of continuing education and training opportunities for personal and professional development. Housing to accommodate all lifestyles is readily available, and 3 museums, a library, a Senior Center, 2 theater groups, and over 40 churches and 90 social or business clubs round out the community.

What is the most important chapter in your novel? Some say it's the opening, others argue it's the ending, but if your opening chapter drags or puts an editor to sleep, the rest of the wonderful story that follows will never be read.
Learn the techniques to take your chapter from draggy to dynamite!
“Some agents say they can tell in the first paragraph if the piece is worth reading. They may read another few paragraphs, perhaps the entire page, but if the writer hasn't presented at least the first of the essential elements by then, off the manuscript goes with a reject stamp.
Do you know what they're looking for? Have you introduced the 5 essential elements in your opening chapter?
Brenda Hill, author of Ten Times Guilty, Plot your way to Publication, Am I Wife or Daughter, and soon to be released Beyond the Quiet, will show you how to prepare your first chapter to capture an agent or editor’s attention. http://www.brendahill.com
