Jonathan Santlofer
The first page of “Anatomy of Fear,†my novel about police sketch artist, Nate Rodriguez, was the last thing I wrote in the book. Why? Because it wasn’t until I’d finished the book that I fully understood what it was about.
I like how you accomplished what you wanted. Very intriguing. The first line is the hook and then the first page reels the reader in. Good stuff.
A really powerful first page. I also try to get action into the first page, but Mr. Sanntlofer’s is awesome.
And now I need to apologize for the stutter on Mr. Santlofer’s name. SORRY !
A compelling start and a nice explanation. Thank you!
