SPINE-TINGLING SUSPENSE.  Clues and red herrings.  Murder and mayhem.  Suspects, victims, and protagonists.  All month we'll talk about writing suspense of all kinds. We'll look at the various elements of the genre, talk about plotting, about building tension and hiding clues in plain sight. We'll also discuss how to plant red herrings and clues that don't give themselves away, how to engage the reader, and how to keep her turning pages until the end. If you're interested in writing mystery and suspense, you won't want to miss this workshop!
