We fielded the following questions about the “Thriller” elemental genre from listeners on Facebook and Twitter:

* How do I build tension consistently through my story?

* How do you maintain tension during dialog?

* When do you not use a cliffhanger?

* Do you ever picture your scenes as if they were in a movie?

* How much elemental thriller is too much for a book that isn’t a thriller? What’s the tipping point where you’ve switched genres?

* What do you do when the tension in your story peaks too early?
