When writing a genre such as crime fiction, it can be broken down into sub-genres. It can be a mystery nail-biter, a forensic thriller, a suspenseful tangle, a private investigator cliffhanger, a legal page-turner, or a revenge dish served up with a twist. Whichever sub-genre you pick, always choose wisely your characters, your victims carefully, and your killer/killers worthy. Why choose wisely, carefully & worthy? You want characters that grab the attention of the reader. As if, they could even see themselves as one of the characters. With the victim’s, you want the reader to feel empathy for these individuals. Really get into what has happened to the victim, shocked even that this could happen to someone. And pick a killer that’s worthy of that roll. Readers love when the antagonists get what’s coming to them. They can’t believe that another human being could be that mean, that cruel, that evil, and they want a burning desire to have the killer punished swiftly and harshly....
