The more you do it, the better you become. Nothing improves your writing more than just sitting down and doing it.And read, read, read. Explore the genre you plan to write in. Study and analyze what the really good authors are doing, and how they are doing it.Oh, and to quote thriller author Michael Ridpath: Have fun.


He reads everything - from J.M. Coetzee to William Gibson, Michael Connelly, Robert Harris, Ian Rankin, Lee Child, Stephen King, Michael Ridpath, John Sandford, George P. Pelecanos, Douglas Kennedy, Mark Bowden, Anthony Beevor, to name but a few ...And the great masters: John D. MacDonald, Ed McBain, John le Carr, Frederick Forsyth, Ted Allbeury, Robert B. Parker ...He can't get enough of Stephen Pinker, love biographies, history, science and travel writing. And he's a news junkie.


One of the books which made it to the top all over the world was Dead Before Dying. This features a man who has been able to escape from his past for more than two years. He lost his wife who was also an officer for the government on the line of duty. We are therefore presented into an interrogation room with an officer Jourbet a man who has not been able to get a hold of himself. All this is however set to be changed by his new officer in command. In order to successfully investigate on the various major crimes such as robbery and murder, Bart deems it necessary that all his detectives in that line to be upright and healthy both mentally and physically. This would therefore mean that the detectives should keep their diet in check, among many other things. It is because of this that some of them actually fall off the hook because they find it difficult to accomplish this task. Joubert who is overweight and secure is dragged back to his old self by a new series of crimes that emerge.

Are you a fan of psychological thrillers? A big fan of authors such as Gillian Flynn? These are our most recommended authors in the thriller genre, which is my personal favourite genre:
