    Are these Thesaurus’ just online or in ebooks also? I like your Emotional Thesaurus and the Positive and Negative. I sure could use the other ones if they were in ebook form.
    Thanks

      Hi, Herb! Right now, the 3 books you mentioned are the only ones we have in book form. We also have a free booklet called Emotion Amplifiers; that’s a companion to The Emotion Thesaurus and can be picked up at Amazon. The next thesaurus to be published will be the Setting Thesaurus, which will hopefully be available sometime in the spring. I hope this helps!

    This is great.
    I did notice the link to Hurricane/Typhoon goes to Earthquake.

      Whoops–thanks! I’ll fix it. Some of the links were messed up when we moved from blogger to WP. Sorry!

        Did Earthquake get deleted during this fix?

          I can’t believe this, but I don’t think we ever had earthquake. Which is a glaring hole, lol. Thanks for pointing this out, Ann. And sorry that we didn’t have it for you!

            No we have it–but somehow it never got linked. Here it is: https://writershelpingwriters.net/2011/06/weather-thesaurus-entry-earthquake/
