How To Write Successful Suspense Fiction Books
Everybody loves a good suspense novel. If you are a writer looking for a genre that is likely to get your book published, you should probably think about writing suspense fiction books.
If you think that suspense books are all detective and international espionage books, then you should think again. You can write a suspense thriller about any topic under the sun. In fact, the best ones are usually about ordinary individuals who get caught up in a sequence of events they cannot escape from.
We do not even need to mention the title or author of the best selling suspense novel of the decade. Just a couple of details about the plot suffice to give the title and author away. This book was about a 2000 year old conspiracy that involved factual information that had been hidden from the public in the interests of the church. The story revolved around an academic who discovered that Jesus was in fact married. Have you guessed the title yet?
Or look at the books written by a woman who is seriously interested in reincarnation and after death experiences. These are normally considered subjects that only a narrow readership would be interested in, but her books are consistent bestsellers. That is because she writes suspense books about characters the average reader can relate to and she creates edge of the seat plots.
One more example is the famous novel that was written about the chemical composition of perfume, of all things. The subject became fascinating for readers because it gave them information about the main character in the book and was an integral part of the plot. It was an intensely suspenseful novel that was set in medieval Europe.
All of these books were extremely popular, but not one of them was about espionage or a private detective. They were about people like you and me. What are you most interested in? What is your occupation? Anything will do. For example, a plumber could write a fantastic novel about a plumber who listened in on a conversation while he was fixing a leaky pipe in somebody’s house. Wanting to know more, he fixed the plumbing in such a way that it would break somewhere down the line later and the owner would call him in again.
There are a couple of essential ingredients to any successful novel. The main character must be fleshed out so that the reader can get to know and understand him or her. The secondary character, the one who is opposed to the main character, must also be well developed. Also, the suspense must build from the first page to the last. Instead of writing a how to manual, why not write a suspense thriller instead. If nothing else, you will enjoy writing it more!
