What will your issue be in your book? Your deepest truth.

Are you upset about human trafficking? Drugs? Domestic Abuse? The fact that criminals are running the medical industry? These are my concerns in RESURRECTION DIVA, the fact that I wrap it all around a gorgeous and wicked woman with ambitions to be an actress/singer, drug addiction, a sexy psychic, the S & M dungeon culture and the irresistable lure of Los Angeles voodoo doesn't take away from the fact that real issues are at stake.

Illusion vs. Truth - what will win out? Illusion will, especially if it has a deep running vein of the truth. People like that. That's why we laugh at jokes, we recognize a truth and it makes us laugh. This is why research is so very important. Sure, you can make things up but you'll find the foundation of actually knowing what you are writing about gives your work the ring of truth and it is only natural that your readers will respond to that. You must be artful. Nobody wants a pedantic teacher spelling life out for them. Rather, your mystery novel, as in RESURRECTION DIVA, should be an unveiling of the truth.
