An entire novel's tone is established in its opening scene.

It must captivate the reader, evoke strong emotions, and most importantly, leave them wanting more. I intended to build a vibrant and atmospheric environment that would transport the reader into the heart of the city's underbelly for my urba Read more of this blog post »
