What do you like about writing in the mystery genre?

I love to read stories where I have to think about the plot, how it is unfolding and why. The deeper and more complex the mystery – the more I enjoy trying to unravel the story. I like to write stories with mystery and suspense with some thrilling scenes.

What sub-genre of mystery does your book fit?

Professional sleuth/crime

Where is your book set?

The book set in Hampshire, in the fictional University of South England.

Can you introduce us to the main characters?

  1. Hi Gordon..nice to meet you…I agree..the joy of writing a mystery (my genre is Histfic) is seeing it unfold. Do you actually know what is going to happen next? I rarely do…that’s part of the journey….

    • Hi Carol, thanks for your post. I like to know where I’m going so the end of ‘Everything to Lose’ foreshadows the next book ‘The Black Fox’.

      For me, when I write, I need to have the beginning and the end finalised so I know where the story is coming from and where it is going. Then I can enjoy creating mayhem in the middle.

  7. So sorry I’m always running a day behind with retweets Rosie. The only way I can be notified of your posts is to have them as a Daily rather than instant notification. Daily of course means I don’t get them until the next day.
