The Dramatic Writer's Companion: Tools to Develop Characters, Cause Scenes, and Build Stories
Moss Hart once said that you never really learn how to write a play; you only learn how to write this play.

No ordinary guide to plotting, this handbook starts with the principle that character is key. “The character is not something added to the scene or to the story,” writes author Will Dunne. “Rather, the character is the scene. The character is the story.”

Pompeii Awakened: A Story of Rediscovery by Judith Harrisby Judith Harris
On that fateful day in AD 79 the city of Pompeii was lost, and in time its location, its inhabitants and even its name were buried and forgotten. Not until 1748 did it emerge from its layer of volcanic rock, and the impact of that discovery was immediate and far reaching.
