A Holiday Book in Review: How To Write Killer Fiction

How To Write Killer Fiction: The Funhouse of Mystery & The Roller Coaster of Suspense By: Carolyn Wheat
Non-fiction: writing 180 pages
Book Count: 79

It is amazing that all of these books on writing X type of books all have the same basic form, but are still very different. This one is divided up between three sections. First, they deal with how to write a mystery book (its history, sub-groups, formulas etc.) Next, it does the same for suspense novels. Then last it works on writing; mainly with the two main ways of writing (outliner and blank pagers) and with the revisions. It also has some information of getting your book published mostly how to look for an agent and look for what publishers you want to try and sell the book to first.
