Thursday Thoughts: Unexpectations

I read a lot of books. Usually. I have to admit that I’m in a bit of a slump at the moment but that’s neither here nor there. Most of my books contain some form of mystery or suspense because that’s what I like to read. I also like the paranormal so I combine the two. But I’m not talking about my books at the moment. I’m talking about books I’ve read, the ones that have mystery or suspense or some form of surpise. I love it when I suddenly stop in the middle of listening (now–used to when reading), and think, I didn’t see that coming! Sadly, I’m often right on top of any twists or turns an author might present. That’s me. Lots of people are always surprised. The Universe popped in with this message:

When suddenly the unexpected happens, Silver, it’s always me…

Just getting everything ready for the time of your life.

Love you, mean it –

P.S. Either that, Silver, or I lost my balance doing cartwheels behind the curtains of time and space.

So here’s my advice to writers today: Give your readers the unexpected! Surprise them. Make them think. Do a few cartwheels. And readers, find a book you can fall into and have the time of your life reading it.
