Writing a Good Scene

By Jess Lourey and Shannon Baker

Part of the How They Do It Series

Jess Lourey and Shannon Baker here, making one of our favorite stops on our annual Double-Booked Blog Tour. We both started out as traditionally pubbed mystery writers and now, over 21 books into it, have branched out to magical realism, young adult, romance, thrillers, suspense, and even nonfiction, both traditional and indie.

Mercy’s Chase , the latest in Jess’ feminist thriller series that Lee Child calls “highly recommended,” is launching in a week and available for preorder now. Bitter Rain , the third installment in Shannon’s Kate Fox mystery series, is only days old and available now.

Be sure to read to the end to find out how you can win one of three copies of each! Now, on to the guts of this article: how to write a commercial fiction or genre fiction scene that will pick your reader up and sweep them away.
