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.

If you want to level-up your writing and stand out in your query, you're going to love this interview today.

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

After obtaining her B.A. in English Literature, she took a detour into law before returning to her love of writing. 

Her lifelong interest in true crime and experiences as an attorney have provided her with plenty of writing material. Elle enjoys traveling and spending time with her husband and their two dogs.
