Please don’t leave me behind!

You promised! Yes you did. When I started reading your book you promised me that there would be a little suspense, maybe a bit of mystery or perhaps romance, and that I would fall in love with your characters. What happened?

I don’t want to read set up and backstory. I want action, conversations, the hero being challenged. I want to be curious. I want to care about all of your characters even those I hate. I want them to have secrets and worries.

I want fast pace, conflict, resentment and uncertainties. I want to be absolutely compelled to turn the page. But don’t tell me everything. I want to be able to put two and two together. Don’t short-change me. If you promised me a mystery, then jolly well make it mysterious.

Take me with you!
