Two of my favorite writing books are "Beginnings, Middles and Ends" by Nancy Kress and "Character and Viewpoint" by Orson Scott Card, both published by Writers' Digest Books.
The first deals with implicit promises made to the reader at a story's outset, and the way those promises affect a reader's perception of the overall story arc. The second explores the narrative power of first-person, third-person, and omniscient points of view, along with tips for leveraging the inherent advantages of each. Both books are well-suited to someone with extensive overall writing skill.
