A murderous plot. A devious twist. A dash of genteel romance. Put them together in a setting teaming with moral dilemma or social unrest, and you have a civic disturbance ready to explode. All it takes is one disgruntled worker, an unhappy mate, or one militant dissident to ignite the fuse sending shockwaves across the community. Then it’s up to a few good people courageous enough to “do the right thing” no matter the personal cost. And the thing is, while the stories are fiction, the dilemmas are real. You’ll find them in the news, in facts and rumors, or maybe you’re living in one of them right now. Those are the ligaments and ligatures of a good plot, the very sinews that pull my stories together and bind them to you.
