Plausible Deniability
Well, HELLFIRE is essentially in the bag. Still have to tweak the intro, but the hard stuff is out of the way. Hmm...what's a writer to do?
Move to the next project, of course.
Mark and I were discussion A WICKED TURN last night. The antagonist (Bad Guy, for the non-writers) is supposedly a techno-savvy evil genius. I, however, am not. My knowledge of computers is limited to "Push power. Load MS Word. Type novel." Mark, on the other hand, is a certified uber geek. So, I posed a hypothetical scenario and asked Mark how a techno-savvy evil genius would accomplish such Feats of Naughtiness. What he told me was...uh... Let's just say, that I greatly underestimated my husband's depth of deviousness.
Between Mark's technological input for the Feats of Naughtiness and my warped mind filling in the blanks, I have a feeling that new Bad Guy is going to be a three-way cross between Hannibal Lecter, an supreme uber geek, and Jack the Ripper.
Oh, yeah....this is gonna get creepy.
