Timing and Content in Thrillers
For its intended readership, thrillers should be fast reads. Strangely, perhaps, at their best they are arduous to write. In order to sustain pace, dangers that occur need both to be subtly foreshadowed and hit hard and fast. In addition they should be delayed enough that the story's tension is tightened, but delivered fast enough that the readers is at the same time surprised but expectant. As fo

Magical Alienation: A Samantha Brennan and Annabelle Haggerty Magical Mystery
Borrowing from Immanuel Kant, I'm just finishing a retrospective on the man who wanted to end the world in a thermonuclear holocaust, Herman Kahn. This one, titled "A Critique of Pure Madness," lays bare the errors in Kahn's assumptions, facts and conclusions both in terms of what he should have known in 1960, and what history has revealed through the internal collapse of the USSR. In case you didn't know it, Kahn was the basis for Kubrick's Dr.Strangelove.
Hi David. Thanks for Friending me here. So, what are you working on at the moment with your own books?
