Suspense. Mystery.
Romance.
There's
something about those words that stir the imagination. Being able to craft a story filled with the
right elements, a blending of all three, reminds me of baking. All the ingredients have to be added in
exactly the right amounts in order for your delicious confection to come out
perfect (and in my case hopefully edible).
I
love layering in all the nuances to my stories, adding a dash of mystery to
keep the reader turning the pages. Did I
write enough intrigue and danger within the world I've created that the reader absolutely,
positively, unequivocally cannot stop reading when they reach the end of the
chapter, and must turn the page to find out what happens next. Don't you love that feeling?
