Shock me, surprise me that's what I want when I pick up a book these days. I dont want to read something that is routine, that is predictable. Give me characters I can relate to. Dont be afraid to show me their scars, struggles, dreams as well as their hopes.
Give me a reason to want to delve into your pages. Make the cover artist hold true to your characters looks,if they are going to be on the cover. I have read a lot of books where the main character has been on the cover only to look nothing like he does on the pages. That is a huge turn off for me. Believe it or not the cover is the first thing that draws me in as a possible reader.
I dont mind reading a series but make sure the next one is available for the reader. Nothing will make me lose interest more than to go get the next book only to find it not written.
I love an author who is willing to take risk. I find myself being drawn more towards the villains lately than the hero or heroine because they are not only the underdog but their stories are better planned out.
Write from your heart no matter what somebody says. They dont have your story just busting at the seams to be written.
