Corey Rosen's book is a great resource. I know I will return to it again and again for ideas, inspiration, and entertainment. It's like listening to a good story being told, while learning how to tell your own stories better. -- Samantha Harris, cohost of Dancing with the Stars and Entertainment Tonight, and author of Your Healthiest Healthy
