The Twisting

Tentatively entitled "The Twisting," I've begun a new body of work with new characters. Set in a modern city, it may never be more than a single story, but it feels fun to write. I've had a few ideas for crime related stories and this will give me a chance to explore writing for that style.

This particular story will follow an investigator's morning at a bizarre crime scene. It's a scene he's investigated on a number of different times, with slight variations. All disturbing. It's difinitely darker than I would normally write and with precious little forethought. "Speed-writing" we'll call it.

Since you are trying new genres and books, I would like to recommend that you read some Henning Mankell. I make this recommendation based on your description of The Twisting. Read one of his Kurt Wallander books. :)

By the way, I love what you are doing!

Thanks Ness!

I'll try and search some of his stuff out and add it to my (ever growing) list.
