Genre Expectations: Writing Suspense and Thrillers


by A.C. Williams @ACW_Author

I grew up reading Nancy Drew and Trixie Belden (not that you asked, but Trixie Belden, in my humble opinion, is superior to Nancy Drew in every way).

So I assumed I knew everything there was to know about mysteries, thrillers, and suspense novels at the highly mature age of sixteen.
