J. E. Hopkins

Author of The Scarlet Crane.

I’ve just posted a Kindle edition of my first book, The Scarlet Crane (a supernatural thriller), on Amazon. A print edition will be available in the next few weeks. I used Scrivener (Mac) to write the book — as a repository for research notes and scraps of plot ideas, as well as the text itself, through multiple revisions. I began writing immediately after loading Scrivener and was easily able to learn the program’s depths as my needs grew more complex. I’m convinced Scrivener shaved weeks from the time required to complete the book and prepare it for publication. An incredible program with great flexibility and a responsive developer and support staff backing it up. Strongly recommended.
