Have you ever finished a book and wondered, "What made the author think of that?" Or wondered if there was a chapter in the original manuscript that didn''t make it through the final edits? Maybe you''d like to get a sneak peek at what an author is currently working on. Work In Progress includes fifty-nine excerpts from some talented authors'' works in progress in different stages of the writing process, followed up with the story behind the story of the piece, and the story behind the author who wrote it.

Where did the idea come from? What were they thinking during the writing process? Why did they delete a chapter, or change a character?
