This article in the Lencarta Learning Centre, setting your camera up for studio flash, will get you started.

Other than that, don't be too ambitious. Keep things simple.
Start off by deciding on what sort of 'look' you want.
Then decide on camera height... If the camera is higher than the subject it will make the subject look unimportant etc.
Then set up one light, experiment with various positions until the shadows are exactly where you want them to be
Then, and only if necessary, add a reflector or a second light to reduce the depth of the shadows.
