I want to watch some old Alfred Hitchcock movies because I hear he's a master storyteller. Which movie should I start with? I've seen Vertigo and Rear Window.

Good morning everyone, what is your favorite genre of fiction?

[Patrick Skelton - Author @patrick_skelton]

Recommend me a good cozy mystery to read. Looking for something clean, but suspenseful.

@OLIVERMERCYATIM I plan on giving away the latest novel I'm working on, probably through Smashwords. Thanks for the tip!

@OLIVERMERCYATIM I feel your pain. Getting your book out there as a new author is really challenging. Have you tried contacting some of your followers and giving them a free e-book to read? If they like your work, hopefully they will check out your other books, or your future books!

@YuliaKorneva thanks so much!

I've been reading some great novels by Terri Blackstock. If you're looking for a clean read in the cozy mystery genre, I highly recommend any of her books.

Below is the opening line to the mystery novel I'm writing. What do you think? Does it catch your attention?
"So much for closure. The more I thought about my fiancé’s missing body and all the money I’d lost to get her back, the more I wanted to vacate her fake funeral."
