Every author, a person who writes for entertainment, is different. And I respect them all. But, my respect, actual respect is for two kinds of author's only.
1. Fantasy, not Paranormal, Fantasy writers.
2. Psychological Thriller writers.
Making up an entire new world and mastering in it is something to be respected.
And thinking from a killer, a murderer, a criminal's point of view is something unexplainable.
It takes insane amount of ideas and creativity to think about thousands, not tens and hundreds but thousands of families, their stories, their world and their culture.
And it takes millennium thoughts, both dark and deep, oftentimes even crazier to realise that you have what it takes to solve a murder mystery.
I respect you both, forever and always.
