About This Newsletter

It's always wonderful to get to know women, with the mystery and the joy and the depth. If you can make a woman laugh, you're seeing the most beautiful thing on God's Earth.
~ Keanu Reeves

Love is an endless mystery, for it has nothing else to explain it.

Letter from the editor

Love may be a mystery in itself but combining a platonic love into a story full of crime, can be quite difficult. A good story can keep you on the edge of your seat from the first page until the last, it's what stays with you after you read that last page that matters.

Most of us tend to focus on staging the crime scene, the who dun it part and why, with characters who come together at the important intervals. We thrive on presenting an amazing picture of words to our reader so they can enjoy it. There's nothing better than the inability to put down a book. Most readers who are enthralled with a story will keep going against their own warnings. The question remains, are the characters memorable as well as the crime itself?

There are many writers out there who use the same character continuously but add new main characters for each book as well as the minor ones. Of course, the crime and mystery is always a new and exciting one, but what if you could have more than one character who stays present in following books? What if their relationships were simply platonic?

The more characters you keep and want to keep, they have to have some kind of relationship to each other. The show Criminal Minds is a perfect example of criminal investigations containing the same characters but they differ from others. Their relationship is more tight-knit as they aren't simple co-workers but also friends who care about each other and each others problems. A family that consists of random strangers in the beginning is a story unto itself which connects readers to it.

Try building sturdy walls of your plotting with characters who connect on a personal level with each other while introducing a random crime into the story and see if you might enjoy a path like that.


'Til next time!
