The strings don't show. I think that's because your characters are so well fleshed-out and credible, and have believable conversations and relationships.Helenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01553503435833467369noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-90967842057719976792015-06-19T10:35:25.049-07:002015-06-19T10:35:25.049-07:00I love "Your audience is not everyone who enj...I love "Your audience is not everyone who enjoys a good mystery".

Since I write romantic suspense, it's often the hero and/or heroine in danger, but I have such "fun" figuring out the villain and how/why he chooses his victim(s). And those killings have to impact the H/h in some way, of course.Anne Marie Beckerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17603878676306179018noreply@blogger.com
