I had a niggling thriller idea fermenting in the back of my mind. So with Prompt 32 in the Open Novella Contest, I started this novel. I had no intention of entering but @NodaOrtiz insisted and my daughter helped me choose the prompt that best suited my idea.
A detailed purpose for Nate. He plays a critical role in the plot, but yet, his day to day life feels mundane compared to what Gibs is going through.
It's my first foray into thriller/mystery, so defining the crime scenes, the subtle clues and the killer's hidden intentions was more fun than I expected.
4
Better than I had hoped. Especially since it's an Ambassador pick for the ONC 2020's Round 1.
Standalone. I might spin off with other cases Gibs can solve but I haven't thought about it.
an escape from the real world. A sense of excitement and an enjoyment of the journey.
7
Set daily word count and meet it. Badly written words can be edited.
Gibs' cynicism and love for good coffee.
9
The worldbuilding (Bladerunner-ish) and the unique premise.
Always. I have two sci-fi romances in progress, I also need to finish Lost in London, The Last Amazon and Shadow Forged. On the back burner is a fantasy MG and an adult fantasy based in Africa.

Exponential Mana Regeneration
When the Change occurred, humanity suddenly found itself with superhuman constitutions and the ability to use mana. All the government leaders had known about it beforehand and had made an announcement, so there was little strife and instead excitement to loot the dungeons that the Change had created. Kyle Anders was incredibly excited when he saw his starting skill, called Exponential Mana Regeneration, but his excitement quickly waned when he realized it was almost useless with his starting mana pool of twenty. He had nearly given up hope on being a mage when his family got him a new skill for his 18th birthday. Suddenly, with his mana pool expanded because of the skill, Kyle’s mana regeneration shot through the roof. But while humanity worked hard to loot dungeons and increase their skills and stats, Change was coming, and peace cannot last forever. The story is currently on haitus. (This story is a work in progress. As the first story that I have ever written, the beginning, especially the first ten chapters or so, needs heavy editing. I have decided to continue writing the story instead of going back and editing the beginning. I hope that despite all its flaws you will still find my story enjoyable.)

Hello I am a first time author writing this because I was sick of reading books that I never enjoyed and it has always been my wish to do something like this, to act upon my imagination and create something I enjoy. I may not be good at this and there could be a lot of grammar problems, but please bare with me as I stride along the path of an author! Please be warned about my novel. The first chapters are the crystallization of my first ever attempts at writing, I believe the story flow gets better as the chapters progress.

"The hand of Fate works in ways inconceivable to those uneducated in her divine method. No trial reaches an end until she sings of it's conclusion... and she's very shy." ~???
