Want me to whip your sorry-ass fiction into fighting shape? Now's your chance. This month I'll be teaching my first class for LitReactor - Tough Dames: How to Write Believable Hardboiled Heroines. AKA Round One of Mistress Christa's Two-Fisted Finishing School for Naughty Word Sluts.

This isn't some kinda feel-good self-validating circle jerk where everyone gets a gold star just for trying. This is hardboiled bootcamp. And by the time I'm done with you maggots, you'll be lean, mean, pulp-writing machines. Or at the very least, you'll suck just a little bit less.
