My novel, Yeti, is sort of a sci-fi action thriller set in the remote mountains of Mongolia. My protagonist is a paleoanthropologist searching for early human fossils.
This novel has some important scientific information especially in the first few chapters as the plot unfolds so the challenge was how to open the book in an interesting and gripping manner in order to hold the reader’s interest and draw him/her into the story. Of course, this is every writer’s challenge but for this novel it seemed particularly crucial.
Thanks for contributing this post, Richard! I’m intrigued by your opening pages, and I’m sure others will be, too.
