How to, not other fiction books. I've found some but I'm reluctant to spend money on something without a second opinion.

It really depends on what sort of help you need... I recommend the 'Write Great Fiction' series, which has a different books for several aspects of writing (plot, dialogue, character - you choose). This might be good if you have a particular weakness. http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss?url=search-alias%3Daps&field-keywords=write+great+fiction&x=0&y=0 'Self Editing for Fiction Writers' by Renni Browne and Dave King is a great one for just teaching you to write stronger prose in general. http://www.amazon.com/Self-Editing-Fiction-Writers-Second-Yourself/dp/0060545690/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1313184532&sr=8-1 Or if you want a great analysis of what makes a story work, try 'Story' by Robert McKee. Note that this book is actually directed at screenwriters and uses movies as examples, but actually it's a really great help for any kind of story, and has some amazing insight into meaning, theme, structure and character. http://www.amazon.com/Story-Substance-Structure-Principles-Screenwriting/dp/0413715604/ref=sr_1_3?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1313184623&sr=1-3
