To those who don’t really know her, Kate Henderson’s life must seem perfectly ordinary. But she is in fact a senior MI6 officer, who right now is nursing the political equivalent of a nuclear bomb.
Kate’s most recent mission has yielded the startling intelligence that the British Prime Minister has cancer - and that one of the leading candidates to replace him may be a Russian agent of influence.
Up against the clock to uncover the Russian mole, Kate risks everything to get to the truth. But with her reputation to uphold, her family hanging by a thread and a leadership election looming, she is quickly running out of options, and out of time.

I'm on the 2nd draft of my thriller novel which I'm planning on making it into a series. It is amazing to me how different my writing has become from simply waiting several months to edit and reread the manuscript.

[@codelucky]

Heya, I was wondering about your progress. 😀

[@Isachzu]

@@codelucky same but idk if they have notifs turned on

[@codelucky]

@@Isachzu If we get a reply saying " Yes, I have made it finally. My book has been launched and published it with thousands of copies. I have these many positive reviews or feedbacks." Will that encourage you or boost your mood to do something similar? Is that why we respond to such comments because we need some push to our life by knowing their progress? What if it's the opposite way? Is the result gonna make us think and act differently with respect to our goals?

@@codelucky yesn't

In Nordic countries, what you call «thriller» is what we call crime or Nodic Noir- a crime is at the center of the story, but a «triller» - where the word comes from - (litterally something that tubles fast) - is a gengre about beat, rythm pulse, the unfolding of something - the story itself (maybe a crime, but not necissarily, could just be the story)

Well a thriller hmm learn how to play with unexpected scenarios and portray how your audience would plan them on the way as you read the story yourself torture your main character (s) and end with a cliff hanger one that leaves a minor victory for the protagonist but also a gain for the antagonists this is what serious plotting entails satisfying but also leaves plenty hunger for more mayhem

[@mdmahim5265]
