Can she prevent him from committing a worse crime against her?NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR If you're in a creative rut, know that I've been there, too. I spent far too long struggling with my inability to write, and it negatively affected several aspects of my life. That's why I wrote 100 Mystery, Thriller, and Suspense Writing Prompts – because I know what it's like to feel creatively empty, and I want to help other writers beat their own blocks. In this booklet, I've combined techniques from my days in university (I hold a Bachelor of Arts in Creative Writing) with the real-world lessons I learned from writing my own fiction novels. The result? A list of 100 prompts to get your creative gears spinning. But that's all I can do. The rest is up to you. Get back to writing today. Scroll up and hit buy now. - Kate P.S.
