In a couple of weeks, (around mid-July) I will return to blogging, full force sarcasm and odd metaphors to fill you in on all the lessons, fuck ups and ‘how to’s’ I’ve learned from publishing 13 Steps. I promise you it will be interesting!

Why should you get 13 Steps To Evil?

Well, if you’ve ever suffered from cliché villain, or perhaps a villain with a saggy middle and soft heart, then this book is for you.

Not convinced? Here’s what the early reviewers have said:

“Imagine sitting in the living room with your best friend, pages of your novel manuscript spread out between the two of you, and spending days dissecting your story and rewriting it together. That’s what reading Sacha’s book and learning from it is like.” Jade W

“Sacha writes in such an engaging style that it made the book impossible to put down. The humour she writes with made this so much more than just your standard villain creator textbook. It’s well written, informative and hilarious.” Melanie R

“13 Steps to Evil is the kind of book that a writer could easily return to again and again for inspiration.” M.J. Moores

“When I read the title, I imagined a short book consisting of checklists and summary information. I did not expect a 40,000 word conversation with Ms. Black about the art of crafting believable, well-rounded villains.

I said “conversation”, and that’s what it is. The reader absorbs the knowledge presented without having to slog through pages and pages of words that have zero cohesiveness and the innate ability to induce sleep. The writing is a blend of the topics and marvelous word-crafting, occasionally highlighting the author’s irreverent sense of humor.” Kevin K
