She's rarely a detective or police officer, but she knows somebody who is. The mystery is set in a small town or village, though a neighborhood in a big city or a vacation spot somewhere in the world may also be a location. Readers often buy cozy mysteries to vicariously…

Literary Style Courts Thrillers by Linda Kasten

Upon browsing agents' wish lists the other day, I was puzzled when I saw the request for "literary thrillers". An interesting term, I thought. Truly contradictory. Right? From everything I know about literary fiction and thrillers, I failed to reconcile this term as a legitimate genre. Is this a new "buzzword", a peculiar crossing of two opposite literary forms? And if so, how does that work? To see how the two might mix, I examined the elements found in both…

  Meet Writers Exchange Author, Karen Wiesner:⁠ ⁠ "I'm a lifelong reader. I remember nostalgically lazy days as a child, too young to have worldly cares, let alone responsibilities, opening a book and getting lost in the story. Flash-forward to adult life, and those moments of bliss curling up with a book are few and far between. ⁠ ⁠ "Back when I was a new mother trying to juggle a full-time career as a published author, reading was something I…

How to Write Police Mystery Thrillers: Getting it Right! By John Schembra

Are you writing police mysteries thrillers? Want to get it right? I do, too, though I may have an advantage, having been a police officer for 30 years. Although the home setting for my books is the San Francisco PD, sometimes protagonists must seek the help of other police or federal agencies. This presents a problem, as not all law enforcement agencies conduct investigations the same way. Each agency has their own set of procedures and though general investigative protocols…

What are “Mystery”, “Thriller” and “Suspense” Genres? by Writers Exchange E-Publishing

Mystery   The essence of a mystery lies in the intellectual exercise of piecing together clues. The genre hinges on the 'whodunit' question, engaging the reader in a cerebral pursuit to solve the puzzle before the protagonist does--or at the climactic reveal. Mysteries often begin with a crime that seems initially inexplicable, requiring methodical deduction and savvy intuition to resolve. Historically, the genre has roots in works like Edgar Allan Poe's "The Murders in the Rue Morgue", which is often…

Amazon Reviews     4.0 out of 5 stars Well worth a read After a rather slow start, the book got better and better. I will definitely look out for the next in the series. Problems with the copy-editing prevent me giving 5 stars. There were random question marks in little boxes scattered throughout the ebook text, which I found distracting. Also felt it got a little bogged down when the same event was told from different character's viewpoints. This…

Amazon Reviews   5.0 out of 5 stars An Awesome Romance! I enjoyed reading Regina Andrews' outstanding debut novel, Light of the Heart, in her Sterling Lakes Series about the talented stained glass artist Cascade Preston and project manager Dan McQuay. Andrews has created wonderful characters and a lively, interesting plot in Book One. Cascade's unhappy childhood gave her a strong reason for not wanting to return to Sterling Lakes to design and make stained glass windows for St. Luke's…
