The Diary of a Serial Killer's Daughter

The Diary of a Serial Killer's Daughter

There’s just something about reading a diary that is intriguing, at least from my perspective, especially if it's about a serial killer.
 
Growing up, I loved the Dear America series, which were diaries told from girls in different points throughout history. I loved feeling like I was in on a secret or really getting to know the main character.
When The Diary of a Serial Killer’s Daughter first came to mind, I was nervous about the diary format. Could I pull off an entire thriller in diary style? There were a lot of challenges that I would face…but still, the idea was intriguing.

For one, I haven’t read any thrillers in purely diary format. I liked the idea of doing something different. I’m always looking for a challenge in my writing, too.

So even though it seemed intimidated, I decided to go for it. And I have to say, I’m happy with the final product. The diary format really gives you a different vantage point of the thriller story line. It puts you right in there, on the front line with Ruby. It also lets you see a sense of honesty that you don’t always get from the characters in a traditional book.

It gives you a deep, insightful peek into the mind of a girl living in an unthinkable situation.

I can’t wait to share Ruby’s diary with you and her story on March 12th. If you’re not sure if the diary format is for you, use this link to download a free sample of the first portion of the book. I want you to love it before you buy it and make sure it’s really for you.

I love to read books and thrilling novels are on the top of the list that I always read before any other books because there is an excitement that I feel whenever I imagine the different scenes that are happening in the story that I am reading. It is really weird for me but It is like a new world is being created in my mind every time I hear those sounds in my mind. I will search for more thrilling books on the internet.
