How To Write The Best Mystery Book Series For Adults

By Kerri Stout


Most people love reading novels that are eye catching and stimulating. However, for any author writing works of fiction can be quite a daunting task especially if you are including several stories in one novel. This is because it consumes most of your time, and you have to ensure that your story is fascinating and marketable for you to reap any benefits from it. If you want to write the best mystery book series for adults, here are some tips to help you.

Ensure that you have a lead character who is strong. This does not mean that he/she should be physically strong; however, he/she has to be likable and fascinating enough to handle several books. You must have a character that the readers will invest in without getting boring. They should be fascinated by the life of the individual and the adventures that he/she is involved in throughout the series.

You should make the books more interesting by using conflicts. You should solve several mysteries and resolve the problems that your characters have throughout the different novels that you plan to write. The idea is to use skirmishes that will hook your readers with your first novel and make them beg for subsequent fiction work.

You should ensure that the first publication introduces your characters and their ambitions to your readers. However, you should also ascertain that subsequent writings have a few past events that will enable readers who have not had access to the first novel to still enjoy your story. Nevertheless, these events should be minimal as it is a new piece and not a review of your initial publication.

It is important for you to exercise consistency in your work of fiction. This should apply to story events, themes and character behavior. Most authors will write about situations that are only solved by contradicting well- established facts. Therefore, you should ensure that you know the rules defining your story so that you do not lose them as you progress with other novels.

When writing a sequence of adult fictions, you must have a series bible. This is important because it will enable you to keep track of your characters and the conflicts that you have written about. As your story expands, there are minor, but important things that you might forget as you develop your story line. You do not want to repeat any plot in your story.

You should put into account the title of your books. This is important because the title can make or break the series in the marketplace. This is the first thing that people will see even before they even consider purchasing your story. Therefore, you have to ensure that your title is eye catching and simple to grasp so that people can easily remember it.

Regardless of whether you are writing a well connected or standalone series, you should always remember that the book that you are writing is your focus. Therefore, take time to write the best story that you can by investing yourself in the plot and the characters. This way, your readers will be hooked to every piece that you release.
