Friday, November 09, 2001 ( 4:38 PM ) Surprise vs. Suspense

"...the reader can't help but be drawn into interacting with the events..."
- Alicia Rasley

This is an excellent article about suspense -- short, but to the point. I couldn't have read it at a better time, because right now in my novel, Raoli is racing through the woods with at least ten Halekolan warrior-guards trailing him to try to discover the location of his village. Will he succeed in throwing them off the track, or will they catch up with him first?
