It's all about thrillers on Donna Galanti's Writing From The Dark Places, where I'm guest-posting on YA Thrillers for my 4th Fireseed One virtual tour stop! What is a thriller exactly, and what distinguishes a YA thriller from an adult one? I'll tell you who some of the masters of this genre are, and where it's headed. So stop on over to join the conversation. Have you written a novel that could be called a thriller? Is it a blend of thriller plus ___________ (Fill in the blank). What YA thriller would you highly recommend?
There are still a few days left to win a 10-page manuscript evaluation over at my 3rd tour stop, Writers' Ally. Enter here.
And a few more days to win a free illustrated copy of Fireseed One over at my 1st tour stop, YA Bound!
To see the entire Fireseed One Tour schedule, click here.
I'd love for you to leave a comment on your way out! Happy Thriller Monday.
