THE GHOSTLY AND PARADISE TAXI – Book 1 in the 3 book series The Ghostly And Paradise Taxi is a mystery with no predictability, essentially a book for our time when no one knows whether they will survive another day.
From the first chapter with the heading “Remembrances of time past and present” the mystery of this cross genre Kindle eBook begins. The unnamed “he and she” are having a conversation, but I drop a few clues the reader can pick up when “she” indicates that finally, she’s written the first paragraph of the book she has always wanted to write. And “he” asks whether she will use her pseudonym. Another clue for the reader to pick up comes when she asks him to read the first paragraph. And the title of “her” book is the same as the title of this book.
The process of writing an intriguing mystery involves knowing how to plot a step by step to parts of the puzzle. For my book to have its twists and turns, early on in the writing, I keep a time line file in my head until I get the sense of how to move the plot and characters toward the denouement. Sometimes I use a time line that is part of the chapter heading. I want flawed characters to write about, because I am offering the reader a view of humanity, and as we know, no one is perfect. In writing the book I’d like to read, I have to plot a way to move my characters toward a life changing experience, in other words, their epiphany, but some of us never learn, and those are the characters I want to receive a punishment apropos to their malicious intent.
I know readers will enjoy solving my mystery along with me when I also wonder what happens next. For me, writing is like tending the grapes in a vineyard. To make certain my words are conveying the story, it’s like making fine wine, I know my story ends when all the pieces complete the puzzle, then I’m ready to send my manuscript to my publisher. For years I wrote for editors who edited writers to “put a coat of polish” on the contents of their magazine or newspaper. I wrote a popular monthly column entitled “Travel Agent Spotlight” for a travel industry magazine, but for the two years I had written the column, I couldn’t find one word that I wrote. I finally told the Editor that I would send her a summary. She told me to keep handing in my copy as usual, but I had an idea for a book, and I quit.
