Gregg Luke 
WRITING WHITE-KNUCKLE SUSPENSE

Ever wonder why some pages burn with the intensity of whitewater rafting while others are like floating down a gentle, meandering brook? It all comes down to the six elements of suspense writing. This course will demonstrate various techniques to writing page-turning, white-knuckle suspense in any genre. The discussion will include compelling characterization, good pacing, anticipation vs. thrills, detailing and techno stuff, resolution, and the trimming of all fat.

Gregg R. Luke, R.Ph. was born in Bakersfield, California, but spent the majority of his childhood and young adult life in Santa Barbara, California. He served an LDS mission in Wisconsin, then pursued his education in Natural Sciences at SBCC, UCSB, and BYU. He completed his schooling at the University of Utah, College of Pharmacy.

Gregg currently practices pharmacy in Logan, Utah. He is a voracious reader and has been writing stories since childhood. He has been published in Skin Diver Magazine, the Oceanographic Letter, Destiny Magazine, and the New Era Magazine. His fictional novels include The Survivors, Do No Harm, Altered State, Blink Of An Eye, Bloodborne, and Deadly Undertakings, five of which were Whitney Award finalists.

Oh My!

Oh my, it's been a long, long time since I posted anything here. Really, I do this now because I recently got a note, if you can call it...
