Here are some more writing tips that you may find useful. They are not in any particular order.

• If you want to write a big book, pick a big theme.
• Write rich characters with rich backgrounds (and I’m not talking about money.)
• Finish each chapter on a cliffhanger.
• The plot must race along at breakneck speed.
• Mix fact with fiction so that the reader does not know where the truth ends and the fiction starts.
• Be clear of all the underlying themes and what is going on in the background.
• Look at the opening – does it grab you?
• Think about the title.
• A good story has a great plot and loads of action.
• Be careful the ending is not an anti-climax.
• Make up your own secret society if you want.
• The ‘What if…?’ button, is the most important key on the keyboard.
