Read a lot. Write a lot. Rinse and repeat. And don't give up.
Reading some craft books on writing also helped me. I especially enjoyed Halle Ephron's Writing & Selling Your Mystery Novel.

A psychological suspense novel. At outlining stage, so it will be a few months before anyone can read it.

I got the idea for All The Deadly Secrets years ago, when I read a newspaper article about someone who had frozen to death. That was only a minor part of the novel, but it got me started.
