Sorry for my lateness! Brain continues to be scattered. Let's talk atmosphere!
Atmosphere adds a lot to suspense. How do you set the scene for your characters? What important repeating elements set the tone in your atmosphere?

Let's talk foreshadowing! How do you build it into your work?
Do you keep it subtle? Do you have plans on how to weave it through? Do you find out when your characters do? Let's talk about it!

Love 'em or hate 'em, cliffhangers are common when it comes to suspense.
Cliffhangers are a powerful tool to keep readers turning the page. How do you use them? When is the best time to use them? Let us know your thoughts!

Do you typically use red herrings in your work? What's your favorite type to use?
Is it a lying character? A suspicious object? Some sort of direction that leads your characters astray? 👀

Centuries after Anastasia was murdered on her wedding night, she's now a Skeleton leading the rebellion against her murderer, known as the Grim Reaper.
As Vivian's visions finds herself drawn to the war, she might be the key to saving the world.
