EPISODE INFO:
If all you’re doing is writing a thriller the way they used to be written, you might be missing out on some untapped potential. 

I’ve been reading a lot of thrillers recently that have some extra, added elements that work toward building tension. 

My guest today is going to share the two she used in her most recent novel and why she chose them.

BIO:
Elle Grawl is a lawyer and author of ONE OF THOSE FACES and WHAT STILL BURNS.
